Yotei

Description

Yotei

2–4 players | Ages 8+ | 30–60 minutes

Overview: Build the most charming town beneath Mt. Yotei (Ezo Fuji) in this town‑building strategy game set in Niseko, Hokkaido. Use potatoes as currency to buy or bid on fields, forests and mountains, harvest resources, and develop attractions to earn Charm Points. Multiple strategies and shifting tactics each round keep gameplay fresh and tense.

Features:

• Potatoes are the game’s currency — bid, spend, or dig up more when you run low
• Expand limited manpower to acquire and develop land tiles (fields, forests, mountains)
• Multiple routes to victory — highest Charm Points wins
• Themed around real Hokkaido scenery, people and wildlife: ramen, wagyu, trout, Ezo‑bears, red foxes, ski resorts, hot‑spring villages and more
• Art by a Japanese illustrator inspired by local people, landscapes and events
• Environmentally conscious components: tokens made from Hokkaido‑sourced wood
• Medium‑sized box: approachable for newcomers but with strategic depth for experienced players

Why play: A deceptively cute, deeply strategic experience that captures the feel of Hokkaido while offering high replayability and evolving tactics every round.
