I’ve played 4-5 times and feel like there isn’t a specific best time. A week ago I was in last place the whole game and only went for it in the last round. Down by 30 I took all but 2 tricks and won the game (by a decent margin). I tried this strategy 2 days later and lost by 1 point.

Thank you @theattas.bsky.social for the award! It is truly an honor. I also want to thank all of the people who helped me create this game and everyone who has enjoyed this game. Let's Go!

Let's Go To Japan!

Finally! Someone understood that I did not intend Let's Go! To Japan to be a game that you play, but instead a game you experience. m.youtube.com/watch?v=OVGW...

I watched this movie today too. It amazes me how this movie broke up Murray and Ramis working together despite the enduring love for the film.

Oh, you know, just like random numbers that seem interesting to me at the time.

I think the strategy is to do numbers and keep a log where you write down the major changes.

Kathleen and I make a cranberry key lime pie with a sugar coating that is good for a more sweeter key lime pie. But I agree, the sour is the point.

Let’s Go! To Japan – Best Laid Plans – Turn Order I knew I’d love Let’s Go! To Japan before I even opened the box. Not only because designer Josh Wood made Cat Lady expressly for me, a cat lady. Not only because he designed Santa Monica expressly …

Josh Wood's latest game "Let's Go to Japan" is now available at friendly local game stores everywhere.

I wrote about it for Goonhammer last year & really dug the card laying/programming. As well as Josh's origin story for the game (a trip planned, untaken).

I can verify. Many times while working together I have heard Pete say "I want the player to suffer more". But I will also verify he is such a nice guy.
