Tokaido Duo

Your merchant, artist, and pilgrim wander the countryside in a race to finish their job.

Welcome, travelers, to the Japanese island of Shikoku! Tokaido Duo is a standalone game inspired by Tokaido but featuring completely new mechanisms. 1-2 players use a quick dice draft each turn to steer three unique characters on different tracks around the smallest of Japan’s main islands.

As the pilgrim, visit shrines, gardens, seashores, and hot springs. As the merchant, collect and sell traditional souvenirs. As the artist, paint a variety of beautiful vistas, and gift your paintings to locals. Gain points through each character’s discoveries as you race to complete one of their jobs while enjoying the journey.

The Stonemaier Games version of Tokaido Duo features character guides for each player and an Automa solo mode (which is both included in the game and available separately for those who already own Tokaido Duo).
