Tokaido is best enjoyed as an experience game. It's in the theme. Follow the road, have experiences. The art and colors are meditative. I would never recommend it for a game night with serious gamers unless I knew this is the kind of experience they were seeking (which is unlikely).2p with the dummy player can be a little vicious which might sound like it betrays the theme, but that's the only way I'd play this. 2p with my wife and that's about it. I wouldn't even try it with the kids because their chaos would defeat the theme and point of the game for me. YMMV.
I think too many serious gamers are expecting something from this that it's not.
