## Description

YOKOHAMA - It is the start of the Meiji era. Japan has reestablished trade relations with the West, and the sleepy fishing village of Yokohama has become the country’s premier trading hub. Goods such as copper and raw silk flow out of Yokohama, while foreign technology and culture trickles in. Modernization is beginning to take hold in Japan, with Yokohama’s merchants as the forefront. In Yokohama, players act as merchants, vying to gain fame through successful business ventures that include collecting trade goods, learning new technologies, and developing the city’s shops and trading houses. To find new business, players will need to roam Yokohama’s streets in search of opportunities. In Yokohama, players strategically dispatch assistants, navigate the city, and take actions to gain fame as merchants. Each round consists of Additional and Main Actions, including placement, movement, area actions, and construction. Fulfilling achievements and order cards brings advantages. The game ends when players build all their Trading Houses/Shophouses, exhaust order cards, or meet specific assistant conditions. The player with the most fame wins. Designed for 2 to 4 players, Yokohama is versatile and suitable for different group sizes.

Review: Long setup + learning, but easy to and fun to play. - I wish it was easier to setup, not sure how, but wish it was... Other than that, the rules are a little lengthy, but it's easy to pick up and doing a gameplay loop makes the steps very clear. The game pieces are solid and feel like they will last a long time. I appreciate that almost all the info is present and mostly easy to understand, although I do occasionally need to look through the rulebook to confirm a thing or two. Don't get discouraged from the long setup or rules explanation!! It's a lot more straightforward than it seems! Although, the biggest con is there isn't a ton of interaction between players. You can kind of try to block their path? But trying to beat them to certain resources doesn't seem to matter too much since there's a lot of ways to rack up points, this means there's not much value in trying to force yourself to interact with others :( Makes it good for a simple game to play when we're just chatting and keeping it chill.
