I love the board game, it is one of my favorite board games, and this is actually a pretty good implementation of the board game. Unfortunately this digital version is as buggy as can be for multiplayer, and seems to have gotten worse over time. I would not recommend you purchase this game if you want to play against any actual people. I am generally pretty understanding of little bugs and things, but this game has …

Game looks great, but is buggy as hell. Multiplayer straight up doesn't work at all, which is incredibly disappointing, and pretty shameful considering the type of game that it is. A board game adaptation should have multiplayer capabilities at the top of its list of necessary functions. I did the tutorial, tried to connect to a friend's game (which didn't work), then refunded immediately. Don't waste your time …

I absolutely love this board game and own the Collector's Edition. So what do I think about the PC version? I like that this version... - Uses the beautiful artwork from the tabletop game, and combines it with a charming layout and animations. - Has a very clean screen zoomed in on the board. - Handles all the scoring and math automatically, which slightly slows down play at the tabletop. - Faithfully recreates all …

One of the best digital recreations of a board game I've ever seen. The wonderful artwork literally comes alive, and the gameplay is absolutely faithful to the board game. If you're a fan of the Tokaido board game, you owe it to yourself to grab the digital edition.

Tokaido is a simple to learn game about travelling across Japan visiting interesting spots to enjoy/score points. You have multiple travelers to pick from that each have an objective/benefit that they can use during their travels. I have played the real board game which is fun. This digital version of the game is done well for the most part. There are complaints but are pretty minor. The presentation, the art, the …

Players who liked Tokaido talk about beautiful artwork and animations bring the board game to life; those who didn't talk about multiplayer is buggy or non-functional for many players. Which matters more to you?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Any Tokaido players?. It's a fun little game where you play as a tourist in Japan. You score points by completing scenery sets, collecting food and souvenirs, things of that nature. I particularly like how it doesn't pit people against each other but still leaves room for intricacies and competitiveness anyways. The culture showcase and overall design is really nice as well.
positive · AI labelView post →Tokaido is an excellent game *about* travel that is also surprisingly cutthroat if you delve into the mechanics (and it can play up to five players if you want to leave space for others to join in)

Apiary is now in alpha testing and should join Viticulture, Wingspan, Scythe, Tapestry, and Tokaido on the platform in a few months. Big thanks to Jordi at BGA for implementing Apiary!

positive · AI labelView post →Multiplayer is not designed for humans, unless you are a hyper-competitive human with no patience and then why on earth are you playing this game?!!! Imagine that you actually had friends you wanted to play with. You invite them to a game--not a public game, a game with people you have likely talked to before. You're doing Zoom or FaceTime and having a great time. Its your turn. You need to do one of those things that humans do (get a drink, go to the bathroom, answer a question your kids…

The game is a journey game, along a path. On your turn, you can move forward as far as you like, letting you claim whatever location you like. But the next turn always belongs to the person positioned in the rear most position along the path. And that means the person in the rear can keep taking turns until they are no longer in the rear. Jumping forward is a…

It is really simple but confusing and if you want to learn more about it or watch to see how the game is played, then i would recommend looking this game up on YouTube under a chanel called Table Top. So far from what i have seen the only thing they need to work on is the friends system. Because when you try to search for a friend that you know has it or add them, it won't do it. They won't come…

neutral · AI labelView post →*Tokaido (in case OP or someone else wants to look it up.) I played it a few times at a friend's house and really enjoyed it. Never won a match, but that's not the point - the entire game is about travelers making the most out of their trip throughout Japan. For this reason, the game feels very chill, despite being competitive. It's not my favourite board game ever, but it was a nice change of pace for a while. I think it does get a bit stale after a while, though.
positive · AI labelView post →The one time I played Tokaido years ago, I really did not enjoy it. I just wanted heavier games at that time. Fast forward to now and I really loved my solo game of the @stonemaiergames.com edition. The gameplay was great and the AI was a breeze to operate. Can’t wait to play again! #boardgames
positive · AI labelView post →Tokaido is the Game of the Week! How do you feel about white boxes? The trend is definitely not as strong as it was last decade, but looking at my collection, I have a ton of them. Concept, The Isle of Cats, Letter Jam, Magic Maze, and others.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tokaido was the first board game that I played at my local group this year. Usually pretty chill but with a full five players it certainly got a little frustrating at times. Still it's one I'd recommend playing if you get the chance. #boardgames #Tokaido
