About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you've already navigated the streets of Yokohama and enjoy giving your gameplay that strategic boost, get ready for another dose of excitement with the Achievements & Free Agents promo. This little gem adds two cool elements that will shake up your achievements and your agent recruitment capabilities.

The first innovation is the Achievement Reward Tokens. The idea is simple: at the start of the game, you randomly select four of these rewards to be available near the achievement cards. Upon completing all three achievements at once, you get to take one of these rewards home and keep it face-up in your play area. The coolest part is that these rewards can give you an extra hand: they count as flags towards obtaining foreign agents and also score points for country icons at the end of the game. Plus, they can be used as free agents during your extra action phase, giving you more flexibility to plan your moves.

The second promo introduces the Free Agent 5-Power Tokens. Just mix these new agent tokens with the existing 5-power tokens in the game, and you're set! When you acquire one of these free agents, keep it face-up. Just like the achievement rewards, they function like any other foreign agent, usable during your extra action phase. This promo is a subtle yet effective way to increase agent options and give your strategies an extra kick, without overcomplicating the rules.

Overall, this promo is a find for those who want to add an extra flavor to Yokohama, offering new ways to score and interact with the board while maintaining the essence of the game we already love. It's that kind of small expansion that makes a noticeable difference in replayability and strategic decisions.
