What this is
In Tokaido, players travel the famed Tokaido road, visit hot springs, try new food, and paint landscapes. The player who is currently last on the track takes a turn by advancing forward on the track to their desired action and taking that action. The potential action spaces in Tokaido are laid out on a linear track, with players advancing down this track to take actions.
