Description

After establishing themselves in Honshu, the Lords and Ladies head north to Hokkaido. Beholding Hokkaido’s mountainous landscape, they see that expansion on this land will prove to be a greater challenge than before.

Hokkaido is the second map-building card game in the Nippon series, bringing new ideas and mechanisms to the first design Honshu. A game of Hokkaido consists of twelve rounds, each divided into two separate phases. Each player must expand their personal map to maximize their scoring possibilities.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Pattern-based scoring toward clusters — End goal is to form blocks of four spaces (e.g., Forest of Four or Town of Four) that touch and merge.
  • Terrain pattern placement — Draw a terrain pattern, flip and rotate triangles; mountains (triangles) can only go in the center/dark area; towns and forests can go anywhere; assign numbers to the realm and place that pattern down.
