Back with a quick look at another app version of a board game. This time it’s the beautiful and serene game Tokaido.

In Tokaido you are a traveller trying to have the most interesting journey as you wander along the road between Kyoto and Edo over a four day period.

Tokaido ticks all the boxes when it comes to game modes. As the image below shows. I’m not a big one for playing with random strangers online (I do believe I have said that once or twice before in the past). So I really like that I can play just against my friends.

The app it self looks beautiful. It continues the art style of the board game which I love.

The developers also when implementing the game didn’t try and do a virtual representation of the board itself. But played to the strengths of the media and came up with a look that doesn’t feel like a board game.

One advantage the app has over the physical is in a two player game the app via an AI opponent controls the dummy third player.

For me this is a perfect digital version of the physical game. A must add to the collection, and a great game to play with friends during the lockdown.
