Tokyo Highway: Rainbow City

Get ready to build the metropolis of your dreams (or nightmares!) with *Tokyo Highway: Rainbow City*, a fresh edition of the classic that brings some new elements to make gameplay smoother – or not, depending on how much you enjoy watching your roads collapse! The main goal is to be the first to run out of your cars or be the last highway builder standing. Each player starts with their colored cars, sticks that will be the roadways, and gray and yellow column pieces. The city begins to be set up with one roadway resting on the table and on a column, with a car on top. From then on, players take turns adding objects like buildings and airports around the board, creating a super cool urban landscape.

On your turn, the excitement begins! You'll extend your highway by adding a new stick. One end rests on your most recently played column and the other on a brand new column you add to the table. The trick is that this new column must have one more or one fewer pieces than the previous one, creating a very interesting height dynamic. Oh, but if you use a yellow piece on top of the column, you can break this height restriction rule and go further! The big scoring moment is when your stick is the first to cross over or under an opponent's road. Then, you earn the right to place one of your cars there – and if you cross multiple at once, you get one car for each! You can create branches and even exit ramps, but be careful not to corner yourself. This edition comes with small tacky pads on the ends of the sticks, making them much more stable than in previous versions. Additionally, there's a 'mission' variant where the goal is to score the most points by completing different tasks, adding an extra strategic layer to the fun.
