I love the story of how this game came about and the passion for the theme of planning a trip to Japan shows. Let’s go to Japan is a very different game where you play cards to weekdays to plan your trip. You plan these adventures based on the theme for each day trying to maximize efficiency by travelling as little as possible between Kyoto and Tokyo by grouping activities for each city together as much as possible. The real twist is that you don’t get any of the resources/scoring until the whole trip is planned and you go through each day’s itinerary. This twist is interesting and keeps who is in the lead or likely to win secret right up until the end. It can throw off some players as tjs is the reverse of the normal game mechanics. I really like Let’s go to Japan but feel like I needed more flavour text for the adventures. This would allow us to better compare our itineraries to see who has planned the best trip and not just rely on pure scores.
