How It Plays
Pattern Building
You arrange pieces to create specific patterns that score points — like solving a colorful puzzle.
Point to Point Movement
You move between connected locations on the board — the map's layout decides your travel options.
Rondel
Actions are arranged in a circle, and your token moves around it — where you stop determines what you can do.
Set Collection
You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.
About This Game
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.
