## Description
Tokyo Highway pits 2 to 4 players in a frantic race to park all ten of their cars on the highways they build themselves. The game starts with 66 flat cylinders – 88 in the four‑player edition – which act as pillars for columns of varying heights. Players stack these pillars, creating towers that may be different or equal in height, then connect the towers with sticks that serve as road segments. Whenever a road passes over or under another, the player may place a car on that segment; double crossings allow up to two cars at once. The special yellow cylinders let you match heights and fork the road, adding extra twists and strategic options. The goal is straightforward: be the first to place all ten cars, using the tweezers provided if you wish to handle the delicate pieces. The complete set includes the base game and the expansion for up to four players, plus four extra buildings that act as obstacles when laying down the concrete network. A typical game lasts about 30 minutes, has light rules (weight 1.5/5) and blends manual dexterity with network‑building decisions, delivering a quick, visually striking experience full of tension as the towers start to wobble. Perfect for fans of stacking challenges, interconnected routes, and a dash of physical competition.
