Iki: Akebono

Iki: Akebono. 

IKI: Akebono introduces a new location to discover in Edo: the bridge of Nihonbashi, which expands the main street and offers players new opportunities. Players can stop at the bridge to meet famous personalities from the Edo era (like Hokusai Katsushika, Sanyo Rai or Tokunai Mogami) and to trade with the ships (built by the players) in the river.

The Akebono expansion also adds new character cards, building cards, and new pipe, tobacco, and fish tokens for more strategic depth and decision making.

Editorial Reviews of Iki

This is a medium-weight board game with fantastic strategy. There are so many paths to victory to explore, you will return to Edo time and time again. Overall, Iki: A Game of Edo Artisans is a delightful game with an attractive aesthetic. - Read more at Board Game Review UK

Sadly there’ll be people who’ll find Iki on BGG and think“A 2015 game? Why would I buy that now?”, and those people will miss out. The original looks very dated now, but the artwork on this new edition eclipses the first one. This is the game Iki always could, and should have been. It’s not complicated to learn, but there’s a ton of depth and replayability. - Read more at Punchboard
