Description
We have finally perfected the power of steam, and we can now use it to our advantage! We live in an unprecedented era of progress, and new steam-powered inventions are developed faster than ever. Cities are growing, trade is flourishing, and we are developing our most ambitious machine ever: a giant contraption that will bring even more progress to the city. Yes, some trees are being cut down, and the river doesn't flow as plentifully as before, but there's still an abundance of trees and water, and we can use the extra space to expand our city — and it's not like the old creatures on those forests can do anything about it.
On your turn in Daitoshi, you either produce or move your magnate to a new district in which you will be able to send your workers to work, command the exploit of forest or river hexes to fuel your endless need for steam, and perform an action to expand and show your greatness to the city.
These actions not only help you in your search for acknowledgement, but help all the inhabitants of the big city. You will expand the city and electrify its districts, discover and develop new steam-powered inventions, and trade with faraway cities. You may even help the city build its gargantuan project: the mega-machine. Some forests might be cut down, and some rivers may be dried up, but in your generosity, you will help the displaced workers from those areas by giving them new jobs at your service.
Old legends suggest the forests and rivers are guarded by Yōkai, but progress can't be stopped because of some old fairy tales. Just in case, though, it could be wise to participate on some reforestation projects and hide your participation in the abuse of the natural resources...

Quotes (from this video)
- My list is different than your list and my list is the best 10 games of 2024.
- This engine building game is very interesting and probably my favorite part about this is the way that you take actions, you'll spend a resource that is a coin and you'll be able to do a variety of different actions.
- The art style is very unique and different that really invited me over the first few games we played over to the last few games we played.
- There's eight different cities with different scoring conditions the way that the goals come out they're always going to be different.
- The art in this game is probably the most gorgeous art of 2024 it's it's a gorgeous game each of the cards is so uniquely Illustrated the cover is fantastic this game is an art piece on your table.
- The Crew produces that almost like every three four games in my opinion because at one point you're all going to have really crappy hands but you somehow predict the order of your crappy hands at one point you'll someone will draw card redraw cards and they'll draw two aces and the probability of that is not very likely but all of a sudden an ace comes up and it's just so fun.
- It's poker but it's taking a simple concept well simple concept like poker and turning it into this like or turning it on its head and turning into a Cooperative game that people can get behind.
- The first time you play it it's just a discovery game and you have to accept that you you won't get very far on the tracks.
- The reason I think this is my number one is a little bit because of the surprise element surprise in the sense that you didn't expect it I didn't expect it to be as great as I knew it was going to be good but it ended up being fantastic and grade.
- It tickles my logic brain which is always great and it's a little puzzle that I think everybody can kind of get behind.
