Playing the Game

In Tokaido, the player whose Traveler is farthest behind on the road (with respect to the destination) is the player who takes the next turn.

This player must move their Traveler forward—that is, toward Edo—to the open space of their choice, but not beyond the next inn, freely passing over one or more open spaces, if they wish.

Once they have moved their Traveler, the player receives the benefit corresponding to this type of space.


In most cases, after a Traveler has moved, another Traveler is then last on the road, and it becomes that player’s turn.


Sometimes the last Traveler may still be last after moving, in which case they go again immediately.
