Auf nach Japan! · German edition · (2025)
Your rating:
Very relaxed/cozy set collection style game about making plans for a trip to Japan. Need to wait for German language version to acquire however. Solo also plays nicely. So far all my plays were on BGA, I can't quite tell how much upkeep there is. Overall I've enjoyed my games. Rating 7.5 2026. After 8 plays. Now own the game. Simulating a week-long trip to Japan or rather to Tokyo and Kyoto has never been so cozy. I have only played it as a solo so far. It's a nice thematic set collection game with a good solo mode. A bit of a table hog. Set collection is not my most favorite mechanic but this may be my favorite game that is centered around it. It adds a good dose of combos that feel quite satisfying to pull off. Rating 7.5
