About the game

Tokaido Duo is a board game from Stonemaier Games, designed by Antoine Bauza (2022). It plays 2 players in 20–30 minutes, for ages 8+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.4 out of 10 and call it medium-light (1.8 / 5 weight).

Welcome, travelers, to the Japanese island of Shikoku! Tokaido Duo is a standalone game inspired by Tokaido but featuring completely new mechanisms. 1-2 players use a quick dice draft each turn to steer three unique characters on different tracks around the smallest of Japan’s main islands.

As the pilgrim, visit shrines, gardens, seashores, and hot springs. As the merchant, collect and sell traditional souvenirs. As the artist, paint a variety of beautiful vistas, and gift your paintings to locals. Gain points through each character’s discoveries as you race to complete one of their jobs while enjoying the journey.

The Stonemaier Games version of Tokaido Duo features character guides for each player and an Automa solo mode (which is both included in the game and available separately for those who already own Tokaido Duo).

Components

  • 2 rulebooks (multiplayer and solo)
  • 1 box (210x210x50mm)
  • 1 game board (190x380mm)
  • 3 custom dice
  • 6 character meeples
  • 4 viewing pegs
  • 20 coins (cardboard)
  • 72 tokens (cardboard)
  • 3 character guides per player (6 total)
  • 3 character mats per player (6 total)
  • 1 cloth bag
  • 9 solo cards (140x100mm)

The solo mode is included in the game, but if you already own Tokaido Duo, we offer it by itself as well. You can also listen to the Tokaido soundtrack while you play.

What’s Different?

The Stonemaier Games version of Tokaido Duo features the same gameplay with these updates:

  • Our version includes an Automa solo mode, expanding the player count to 1-2 players. The solo mode will be available both in our version of the game and separately (for those who already own Tokaido Duo).
  • A reworked rulebook with the detailed descriptions of each character removed into their own character guides (3 per player).
