We are incredibly excited to share that we have acquired the entire Tokaido brand from Funforge! It’s our honor to continue Tokaido’s journey, and Funforge has been incredibly helpful. This is public information as of Essen Spiel 2024, where we’ll have the last few copies of Tokaido Deluxe.

We’ve entered production on a Stonemaier version of Tokaido. It’s almost the exact same game, with the main difference being the inclusion of an Automa solo mode, which will also be sold separately for those who already own Tokaido. We’ll eventually do the same for Tokaido Duo and Namiji, and we hope to make a completely new game in the series with Bauza and Naiade.

We’ve entered production on a Stonemaier version of Tokaido due for release in the first half of 2025. It’s completely compatible with existing expansions, and it features these updates:
• Our version includes an Automa solo mode, expanding the player count to 1-5 players. The solo mode will be available both in our version and separately (for those who already own Tokaido).
• Our version is manufactured by Panda using our standards for component quality (e.g., the panorama cards will be upgraded to the same 310gsm cardstock we use for all our cards). For any components that need to integrate with existing Tokaido expansions, we’re matching the composition for full compatibility.
• Our version includes a revised rulebook for clarity and accessibility (the gameplay is the same).
• Our version includes text on some cards and the character tiles to accompany the icons (so you don’t need to reference the rulebook to decipher combinations of icons).
• Our version includes reference cards for each player that explain the locations.
• We’re just making 1 version of Tokaido, not a standard and a deluxe version.
