Kokeshi

In Kokeshi, players are Japanese artisans improving their art of crafting handmade wooden dolls, strategically positioning them on 5 tracks on their boards to produce faster and better, and receiving happiness points.

Kokeshi presents a twist in the engine building mechanic, focusing on the aspect of "track building".

Basically, the players will activate one of their tracks to move a Kokeshi meeple, triggering the action on the landing space, that could activate another Kokeshi while allowing them to buy new pieces for their tracks, making it more efficient and earning happiness points according to the size of the tracks.
