Thread: Tokaido:: Variants:: End game scoring
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere.
We've only payed this game a handful of times and the first time we misread the rules and did scoring at the end rather than during the game. After playing a few times more we felt that endgame scoring was more exciting (although I accept that the game isn't supposed to be exciting as such) and so are thinking of house ruling this. I can see any reason why this wouldn't work.
Has anyone else taken this on / prefers this, and are there any precedents as to why end-game scoring wouldn't work?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can do it, but the victory points are openly in front of each player any way. I mean, you can see them an calculate them.
EDIT: Maybe the only way to prevent that is make piles of cards for each category, instead of scale them, hiding the number of same cards collected under the first.

First of all:
They sold the Deluxe Edition at Essen.
The Collector Edition was Kickstarter only.
The Deluxe Edition has more in common with the Collecter Edition than with the normal basegame.
The Deluxe Edition contends are:
Tokaido basegame
Crossroads expansion (the small board is already integrated in the big board from the basegame)
Plastic miniatures of all charakters from Tokaido basegame + Crossroads expansion (unpainted)
Metalcoins instead of cardboard coins
Soundtrack
The Collector Edition has all contend from the Deluxe Edition
+ the matsuri expansion, additionally characteres + miniatures and an artbook.
You could have topped that by pledging "Samurai Level" to get your miniatures painted.
For detailed information about the Collector Edition I suggest to check Kickstarter out.

The upgrade kit was also available for seperate buys. So it contained all your saying except the basegame. It costed 38euro's and I regret now that I haven't bought it. But good to know that it will be for sale in Retail (since I don't see it as a seperate bgg entry)

Scoring at the end is always what we do. It's just too annoying to keep track of the tiny scoring markers, and often we couldn't remember if someone had moved their marker for some scoring event or another. Much easier to just add everything up at the end.↧

Thread: Tokaido:: General:: Tokaido upgrade kit
by Suzanne24
Last Essen I saw there was an upgrade kit for Tokaido (it included metal coins, minatures etc). It was sold for 38euro's (so I mean the one that doens't include the basegame).I really regret that I haven't bought it. But now I don't see it for sale anywhere and also it has no bgg entry.
Does anybody know if this wil become available in retail?
( I asked a shop where I often buy my games but he was unable to order it).

Obligatory “What I Played In…” Post Part III: September 2015
by Aaron Rohrer
This post was originally written on my blog "Late To The Table..." on October 23rd, 2015 and can be found in it's original (including the original pictures) at the following link:http://www.alittlelatetothetable.blogspot.com/2015/10/obliga...
What follows is the text of the post:
Hey all, we’re back for another round of “What I Played In…” This is my series of posts where I list what I played for said month, and said month is September of 2015! This post would normally have been earlier in the month but that time was taken doing my Essen Spiel 2015 series. Now that those are done, on to my “What I Played In September 2015 post! This month has taken over as my most plays, but mostly that is because of some smaller, quicker games that have been hitting the table a lot. Alright, check out my list and enjoy!
Statistics:
Total plays in September 2015 – 68
Total unique games played in September 2015 – 25
New games played in September 2015 – 3
Most plays of a single game – 22
Codenames
Designer – Vlaada Chvátil
Publisher – Czech Games Edition
New to me
First play – 9/7/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 22
A friend of mine let me know that Codenames was at our local comic and game store and I went right over to pick it up to make sure I got a copy! This has been the hotness since Gen Con and I wanted to see what it was all about. 22 plays later I’d say it is a hit with everyone we’ve played it with! It is just a fun word association game that was brilliantly and simply designed. I highly recommend this to absolutely anyone, it will go over great!
Coup
Designer – Rikki Tahta
Publisher – Indie Boards & Cards
Last play before September 2015 – 8/22/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 10
This is the second month that we’ve had Coup and it is still very popular. Such a simple and quick game and I like the deduction in it. It is one of those games that I look forward to teaching to new people because I think it will draw them into more modern boardgames.
Tides of Time
Designer – Kristian Čurla
Publisher – Portal Games
Last play before September 2015 – 8/24/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 5
This game continues to hit the table. It is such a simple 2-player card drafting game and those are incredibly rare. Normally card drafting isn’t a mechanic that works well with only 2-players but here it does. My wife and I can finish a game of this in about 10 minutes and then move on to another game if we want. It is a fun and heavily tactical card game.
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords
Designer – Mike Selinker/Paul Peterson/Chad Brown/Tanis O’Connor/Gaby Weidling
Publisher – Paizo Publishing
Last play before September 2015 – 6/5/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 3
I played 3 rounds of Pathfinder ACG this month to finish up The Hook Mountain Massacre Adventure Deck for my solo play. My wife and I really enjoy this game but we find it more and more difficult to get it to the table. Oh well, we will finish the adventure path eventually!
Shinobi Clans
Designer – Jürgen Mayer
Publisher – Posthuman Studios
New to me
First play – 9/8/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 3
My sister-in-law and her husband got this game for me for my birthday this past February. We finally got it to the table and really enjoyed it! I was actually annoyed that we hadn’t gotten it out sooner when we realized that this is quite a fun little game. We’ve played it 3 times now and everyone has had a good time playing.
Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn
Designer – Isaac Vega
Publisher – Plaid Hat Games
Last play before September 2015 – 8/29/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 2
This continues to be a hit among me and my wife. We are starting to get to the point where we want to add in other players and trying this like the drafting and deck building parts of the game. We’ve had a blast with the pre-built decks and I don’t see us stopping this game any time soon. I highly recommend this for any CCG fan! Plus, bonus, it’s not a CCG!
Munchkin Loot Letter(Love Letter)
Designer – Seiji Kanai
Publisher – Alderac Entertainment Group
Last play before September 2015 – 8/15/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 2
What more to say about Love Letter? This is just a simple, small game that goes over well and is a very solid filler. It will always be in our collection just for quick plays and teaching to new gamers.
Roll for the Galaxy
Designer – Thomas Lehmann/Wei-Hwa Huang
Publisher – Rio Grande Games
Last play before September 2015 – 8/16/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 2
This game is just awesome. We haven’t had a missed month of playing this game since we obtained it earlier this year. We can’t wait for the expansion, Ambition, to be released to give us even more options!
Shadowrun: Crossfire
Designer – Mike Elliott/Rob Heinsoo/Jim Lin/Gregory Marques/Sean McCarthy/Rob Watkins
Publisher – Catalyst Game Labs
Last play before September 2015 – 8/31/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 2
We got in a couple more plays of this game this month. I’m glad we’ve rediscovered this game. I think it will be one of those that we pick up and play a lot for a while and then put it down until we rediscover it a few months later for some more binge plays! A fun, but mean, co-operative deck-builder.
Viceroy
Designer – Yuri Zhuravlev
Publisher – Mayday Games/Hobby World
Last play before September 2015 – 8/31/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 2
This continues to be a game that we’re going to pull out a few times a month and completely enjoy! Actually we’ve started to wonder what it would be like to play at either 3 or 4 players so we may be getting even more fun out of the game soon!
7 Wonders
Designer – Antoine Bauza
Publisher – Repos Production/Asmodee
Last play before September 2015 – 8/9/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
Again, 1 play in a month is never enough of this game. Everytime I play it I love it more! I can’t wait to get my hands on the new 2-player version of this game that was released at Essen Spiel 2015 entitled 7 Wonders: Duel. I think that Em and I will get 7 Wonders: Duel to the table quite often!
Brew Crafters
Designer – Ben Rosset
Publisher – Greater Than Games
Last play before September 2015 – 7/2/15
Total plays before September 2015 – 1
We got one play of this in September and it is another game that we may only pull out once a month or every other month but we have a great time playing it when we do! It is a great worker placement that is apparently somewhat similar to Agricola but with a much cooler theme!
Carcassonne
Designer – Klaus-Jürgen Wrede
Publisher – Z-Man Games
Last play before September 2015 – 6/12/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
We had a good, calm play of Carcassonne this month with Em’s dad, Terry. We really love pulling this game out with people who aren’t necessarily gamers as it goes over well and is just fun to look over the board afterwards at what you’ve built.
Catan
Designer – Klaus Teuber
Publisher – Mayfair Games
Last play before September 2015 – Not sure
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
Wow, I think it’s been about a decade since I’ve played this game. A buddy gave us a copy of Catan and we finally decided to break it out and play. I remember not liking it but actually enjoyed my play of it this time. I still think the thief/robber is a terrible mechanic but that’s just me. As a side note, my wife is still really not a fan although she also said it wasn’t as bad as she remembered it being.
Diamonds
Designer – Mike Fitzgerald
Publisher – Stronghold Games
Last play before September 2015 – 6/28/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
We got in a play of Diamonds with Em’s dad. He ended up pulling out the win in this one. It’s always a good time playing this one, and super easy to teach!
Dice Brewing
Designer – Filip Głowacz/Ireneusz Huszcza
Publisher – Board&Dice/StuntKite Publishing
Last play before September 2015 – 7/6/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
We got 1 play in and as has been the norm recently, we seem to be enjoying it more and more with each play. Once you figure out how to gain the resources you need this is a fun play. I really want this company's other games, ExoPlanets and The Curse of the Black Dice, but I don't know if they'll ever be released in the United States! Sad-face!
Hanabi
Designer – Antoine Bauza
Publisher – R&R Games
Last play before September 2015 – 8/6/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
This continues a run of this game. We’ve played it a couple of months straight which is cool because I really like it and it seems to be growing on Em. This is one of those games I can take anywhere and teach easily. We played a 4-player game with Molly (sister-in-law) and Dustin (brother-in-law) and score a respectable 18 points. I think if we’d played again we would have done really well!
Imperial Settlers
Designer – Ignacy Trzewiczek
Publisher – Portal Games
Last play before September 2015 – 8/24/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
We played. Of course we played! This is one of our favorite games of all time! Oh, and I lost to the Egyptians with the Atlanteans. Always an awesome game, even when I lose!
[thing=96848]Mage Knight Board Game

Designer - Vlaada Chvátil
Publisher – WizKids Games
Last play before September 2015 – 7/12/14
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
Wow, I finally taught this game to Em. It was epic! Honestly, she didn’t enjoy the game that much but she was still willing to learn and try the game with me which is just one of the reasons that she is so cool! This is an awesome game that I may only pull out once or twice a year due to its epic nature but I love every moment when I do!
Mice and Mystics
Designer – Jerry Hawthorne
Publisher – Plaid Hat Games
Last play before September 2015 – 11/18/14
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
Em and I took on the fourth chapter of the Sorrow & Remembrance story line and she rolled those die like a boss! We cruised through this chapter without very much difficulty and loved every minute of it! We always enjoy our plays of this game and hopefully this will give us enough of a kick to remember how fun it is and pull it out more often. On the same note, hopefully Tail Feathers will bring it to the forefront of our minds more often!
Province
Designer – Samuel Strick
Publisher – Laboratory Games
Last play before September 2015 – 8/2/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
Em and I played this at a coffee house in September and had a great time. It is such a small and quick Euro-style game and I love that it takes no work at all to pull it out and get it ready! It is a solid and fun little game.
Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the Cursed Island: Voyage of the Beagle (Vol. 1)
Designer – Ignacy Trzewiczek/Robert Masson/Marion Heuser
Publisher – Z-Man Games/Portal Games
New to me
First play – 9/26/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
This is similar to last month is that I’m considering this a new to me game. I’ve played the base game a bunch of times and love it but this is the first time that I’ve played the Voyage of the Beagle expansion and I think that Ignacy and crew did a wonderful job on it. I am looking forward to future plays of this expansion!
Samurai Spirit
Designer – Antoine Bauza
Publisher – Funforge
Last play before September 2015 – 8/20/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
This game continues to be one of mine and Em’s go-to co-op games. We always have fun with the small puzzle that this game puts forth on every play. We always love it and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good puzzle, a quick game, and a solid co-operative experience.
Seasons
Designer – Régis Bonnessée
Publisher – Libellud/Asmodee
Last play before September 2015 – 8/16/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
Yay for a game of Seasons! This game is still both mine and Em’s number 1…at least for the time being. That just means that it is always fun and we always love it! This still has my favorite custom dice of all times! Oh, and gorgeous art by Naïade!
Tokaido
Designer – Antoine Bauza
Publisher – Funforge
Last play before September 2015 – 8/19/15
Total plays in September 2015 – 1
We broke this one out for a play with Em’s dad while he was here for a visit. This is always a simple game to teach but still fun and relaxing. I actually scored 99 points in this one which I’ve never done before…so close to 100! Oh, and again, art by Naïade! How can you go wrong with this one?
And there you go! Those are my plays in September 2015. As usual, it was a great month of gaming with my wife and friends. This month’s winner was definitely Codenames as that game just seems to hit the right note with everyone who plays it. Shinobi Clans was really a surprise and I knew the art was good but didn’t know a ton about the game when it was bought as a gift for me. We’ve quite enjoyed the plays we’ve had of it so far. October is going to be a heavy new games month as (spoiler) we’ve already gotten a few for our anniversary. I won’t tell what they are yet but we’re enjoying all of them. If you haven’t had a chance, go back and check out my Essen Spiel posts. They are all about my interests from this past weekend’s gaming convention in Essen, Germany. If you have any questions or comments feel free to make note at the bottom. Until next time, game on!

Reply: Tokaido:: Strategy:: Re: Strategy at the inn
by Babap
My advice: (provided you have a choice of food) NEVER fight for the gourmet bonus until the 3rd inn (earliest). In fact, I would advise that this bonus should be the first thing to consider giving up if there is another decent option.
- The bonus in the end is not that great compared with the number of coins you must spend to get the bonus
- Investing in it during early game really limits your options during the course of the game because it doesn't give you much money for elsewhere. This is especially true if your strategy involves shopping.
About blocking food for others.
- If paying for a more expensive meal means other player can't have a meal, then usually it is a worthwhile purchase. The primary reason should be stopping that player from getting 6 VP, not to lock them out of the gourmet.

Hey thereI was in a comic shop the other day and one was sitting on it's own in the store picked it straight up and bought it as I didn't know it even existed! I do get the feeling they're going to be like gold dust unfortunately as after I bought it I done a search on google and nothing was found other than mention of it from back in 2014 :S
Might just be the case they're going to stores in limited quanties and you haven't seen it around yet?
Good luck, hope you find one!

2015 has been a pretty good year for DGA. My YouTube channel has reached 9,000+ subscribers and contains over 2,500 videos, a far cry from last year’s numbers. While being diligent with my content is part of the reason the numbers continue to grow, it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of gamers like you. It also helps that there are a TON of awesome games out there just waiting for someone to discover and play them. Yes, it’s that time of year again folks…the 2015 DGA Awards are upon us!
Like the previous years, I’ll be listing my favorite games regardless of their release date. It just wouldn’t be fair to list the “Best Games of 2015” or the “Best Games of All Time” when I haven’t played them all. DGA just isn’t popular enough for that yet and I receive maybe fifty to seventy-five board games every year, which doesn’t put a dent in the total amount of games published in said year. As such, I find those kinds of titles misleading despite their obvious SEO benefits. All of the games listed below are games that I own. It doesn’t mean that they are the best…it means they are my favorite out of all of the games in my collection at this point in time. It’s important to remember that before leaving a comment like, “but you forgot about X”.
For a list of the games I do own and have played, click on either the “Board Games” or “Video Games” tabs above. I’ve covered many video games on my YouTube Channel that I haven’t here, so go check that out too. It just became more convenient to release video game content via “let’s plays” due to the sheer volume of press copies I get. Each board game entry will have a link to the written article, which in turn contains Amazon and other links for buying the game for yourself. Each video game entry will have a link to one of the videos published to my YouTube channel (which usually has a link to its Steam page). Hopefully the below will give you some ideas for your upcoming holiday shopping…no need to thank me, I’m awesome that way.

Reply: Tokaido:: Rules:: Re: Bank vs Reserve
I am so glad you all discussed this because this really confused me when reading the rule book. I wish they'd have picked a term and stuck with it as far as what your personal funds and the pool of extra coins are called.
I like to call the character's funds his/her "purse" and the rest is the "reserve pile" just so there is no confusion when discussing it with friends.
I interpreted these rules differently so I'm glad this post is here. I'm new to Tokaido but we were playing wrong in a few ways. It's good to know that the Miko is a free donation from the reserve pile, and that Hirotada's ability does the same. We kept thinking the Miko just made you have to donate one of your own and that Hirotada's ability was just that he can donate 4 coins in one stop from his own funds. Makes a lot more sense the other way.
Anyway, thanks for the enlightenment! It makes the rules so much better and some of the characters so much more viable!

I interpreted these rules differently so I'm glad this post is here. I'm new to Tokaido but we were playing wrong in a few ways. It's good to know that the Miko is a free donation from the reserve pile, and that Hirotada's ability does the same. We kept thinking the Miko just made you have to donate one of your own and that Hirotada's ability was just that he can donate 4 coins in one stop from his own funds. Makes a lot more sense the other way.
