Crazy enough I just purchased Tokaido on a Black Friday deal. It's one of my favorite board games. This is a lovely 1-player representation of the game that's faithful to the art style. I came one space away before the hounds got me! Well done!

Thank you for playing and for your feedback! It is very much appreciated :)
We planned to add more indications but were short on time to implement them. The dice that appear when hounds spawn show their randomized stats. It’s indeed quite cryptic at the moment. And, in fact, they were part of the early idea that there were dice for hounds. But the whole thing got obsoleted during development. We planned to replace them with a more straightforward popup showing the new attack and speed values but didn’t have time for that either.

Thank you very much for your feedback! The game, indeed, needs a but more info on what is going on under the hood. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to add all this before the jam. But we will consider improving it afterward!
Thank you for the feedback! Tokaido is one of our favorite games too :) It was exciting to implement something like it in a video game and see how it works. At first, there was also an idea to have cards and encounters on the way, but it turned out to be way tooo much for a one-week jam. So, we decided to stay with only a few location types.
That makes complete sense, it's so tempting to add features you know will be awesome and add to the complexity of the game (we fell into this trap knowing full well it would be an issue). The time constraints of the jam make it SO challenging. Really looking forward to seeing what you guys do with this idea :)
