About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a colorful journey with 重ねて色をつくるゲームJR西日本版 (Kasanete Iro wo Tsukuru Game: JR West Edition)! Following the success of the JR East edition, this version brings 11 new iconic JR West trains, including the famous Doctor Yellow, the D51 steam locomotive, the 500 series, and the Limited Express Yakumo. The goal is to recreate the vibrant colors of these trains using seven types of transparent color cards, made from durable PET material. The magic happens when you stack these cards: the colors mix, allowing you to faithfully reproduce the color schemes from the theme cards. The color cards are based on the three primary pigment colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow), in light and dark versions, plus black – the same colors used in printing, which ensures a huge range of combinations. In addition to the color matching challenge, the game offers a mode where you try to guess the order of stacked color cards by another player, ensuring the fun never derails and each game is a new adventure. It's a super accessible and fun game for all ages, perfect for those who love visual puzzles and, of course, trains!
