We are very happy to present you today with Crossroads, an expansion created for the excellent Tokaido, a game from Antoine Bauza published by Funforge.Crossroads goes all the way to doubling the possibilities offered by the base game. At each of your stops while traveling the East Sea road (except at the inns, where you'll find some rest both for your traveler and for your brains), you can now choose between two actions: the one from the base game, and a brand new one which renews the game and deepens the planning needed to experience the most perfect travel.
These new actions will enable you to acquire some Legendary Objects, to collect Calligraphies granting conditional points at the end of the game, to use Amulets to get an advantage at just the right time, and even to win (or lose!) money by throwing dice in quiet gaming rooms... Nonetheless, you shouldn't forget to take some time to contemplate the cherry blossoms, or you could regret it once arrived at Edô. 6 new characters beautifully illustrated by Naïade also make their appearance, adding variety to the games with their specific capabilities.
This release is also the perfect occasion to tell you about a hot topic concerning Tokaido, since Funforge just launched a Kickstarter at the end of last week to publish a Collector's edition including both the base game and the Crossroads expansion. This crowdfunding campaign, which aims at offering players an exceptional setup for an exceptional game, has already shown the huge interest of the board gaming community for Tokaido as the funding goal was reached in only 3 hours! Thus, this version is now sure to be created and a lot of stretch goals have already been met, making the box content even better. If you want to take a part in this adventure, you can get straight to the Kickstarter page for the project by clicking the image below: a big thank you and congratulations to Funforge for this game and the Collector's edition!
