Let's Go! To Japan
来去日本！
Plan a week in Tokyo and Kyoto from a hand of activity cards, then take the trip and see whose holiday was best.

- Some thinking
- Strategy
- Cards
- Travel & adventure
The goal
Have the most points after the trip, from activity cards, each day’s highlight, your experience tracks and your mood.
How it plays
- 1There are 13 rounds. Each round the round tracker says what to draw from the Tokyo and Kyoto decks (in some rounds you pick up the cards passed to you instead).
- 2Play 1 or 2 cards into your week, under one of the days from Monday to Saturday. Each day holds at most 3 cards, and placed cards never move.
- 3Pass the rest face down to a neighbour so your hand is empty. Pass left in rounds 1 to 7 and right from round 8.
- 4When a day gets its third card, count the icons matching that day’s favourable condition and pick a bonus. Each train between Tokyo and Kyoto costs points, so try to keep each day in one city.
How you win
After round 13, take the trip: resolve your cards Monday to Saturday, moving your experience and mood tracks, and score each day’s highlight. Most points wins.
First time?
- Read each day’s highlight before placing cards there. It tells you what that day wants.
- Think about what you pass. Don’t hand a neighbour exactly what they need.
- A research token lets you draw 3 and discard 3. Use it when your hand is stuck.
