How it plays

Let's Go! To Japan is a strategy game about planning a dream trip to Japan. During the planning phase, players draft activity cards over thirteen rounds and slot them into the days of their week-long itinerary.

Activities include famous sights in Tokyo and Kyoto, and you have to manage the resources your trip needs while building the schedule. In the final phase, you take the trip: your activities trigger in the order you planned, earning points. The player with the best trip wins.
