Let's Go! To Japan

Let's Go! To Japan invites you to take on the role of a traveller meticulously planning and then experiencing your own dream vacation. Published by AEG, this engaging strategy game tasks players with organising a week-long itinerary filled with the most iconic sights and sounds of Japan. Over thirteen rounds, you will draw activity cards featuring stunning illustrations by Japan-based artists, representing everything from serene temples in Kyoto to the neon-lit streets of Tokyo. Your goal is to strategically place these activities into specific days of the week, creating a logical and rewarding flow for your upcoming adventure.

The core of the experience is a complex spatial and resource puzzle. As you bounce between Tokyo and Kyoto, you must carefully balance your limited resources while trying to fit in as many can't-miss tourist attractions as possible. Placing cards in your itinerary requires foresight, as you need to consider the travel requirements and the specific benefits each activity provides to maximise your total experience. The tension builds as you commit to certain paths, knowing that your decisions will determine the success of your trip when the final round arrives and you finally embark on your planned journey.

The climax of the game occurs during the final round, where you activate each of your chosen cards in order, effectively "going" on the trip you have designed. This phase brings your plan to life, allowing you to see how your strategic placements and resource management translate into points. The player who has puzzled out the most optimal schedule and collected the most points by the end of their journey is declared the winner. With its vibrant art style and deep tactical choices, Let's Go! To Japan is a perfect choice for anyone who loves the logistics of travel or the rich culture of the Japanese islands.
