Iki
2021 · 2-4 Players · ~60-90 min · Competitive
Iki recreates the vibrant artisan culture of Edo-period Nihonbashi through a rondel-driven euro where your movement around a shared market street determines which shops you visit and which artisans you can hire. The seasonal structure and fire threat add thematic tension to the economic optimization, and the production quality is outstanding. The interaction through the shared rondel creates a tighter competitive experience than most euros at this weight, though the fire mechanism can feel punishing when it destroys buildings you've invested in.
