Hokkaido

The Shogun has promised your family the island of Hokkaido, as thanks for years of loyal service. But the head of the family is growing old and weak. Now the sons must show who really deserves power over Hokkaido. In this game you step into the role of a clan leader in feudal Japan and go in search of the best trade routes. Hokkaido is a strategy game with a lovely Euro feel, for 2 to 4 players. Each turn you have three actions, and you choose from seven options: move, grow, travel by sea, claim a public trade route, take a card, discard or reveal a secret route. You never have enough actions to do everything, so every choice counts. That is exactly what makes it so exciting to sit down at the table together. Sometimes a bit of conflict comes into play, especially when an area gets too crowded. The combat system is clear and rewards players who dare to think ahead. Whoever gains control of the most important trade routes and areas convinces the Shogun and wins the game. Within an hour you share a story full of choices, tension and a touch of adventure.
