This game is a masterpiece. I have both versions and I will be using the new version from here on because of the updated rules and board. The original Japanese version however is a special piece of art that I will never part with.

Wonderful overview of this game. Will be keeping my eye out for this one. Really like the production quality of this video Matthew. Keep up the great work!

Great review and what a gorgeous looking game! Just flew up to the top of my interest list.

[@coomie85]

Awesome run through of the game! I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on it!

[@eVanDiesel]

It doesn't look icky at all!

[@kipel1563]

Great video!! Just ordered!!! Looks amazing!!

[@jamescartwright1150]

Looks impressive, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Oh thank you so much for mentioning how beautiful it is! Bought it a month ago on pre-order, almost only French Canadian websites had it (still haven't seen them on English Canadian sites) and they were going fast and selling out. But on BBG, almost all the people (who own the first version) were calling it ugly. Are you freaking kidding me? This art makes it accessible to all and the colored are incredible, not just people who like Ukiyoe art (I love Ukiyoe here and there but not a whole game and most people are like that, too). Please show your love to the artist on BBG if you go there and love the new art :D There's a lot of negative comments to make it up to the artist!

[@MattyJude]

I love the original look of the game for sure but this production is just stunning. I think most negativity is just coming from people who are sad that their very out of print, hard to find and expensive game is now available for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for watching!

this re-release was on my radar, but the english edition isn't currently as easy to come by in my region! But they did announce that there is plans to bring out a version of in dutch in the 2nd half of 2022.

[@GKEK]

Ah, jeez... I need this game now.

[@Yasamuyi]

We have to play this!

[@rawkyle9385]

Picked it up at Essen today!

[@patricksteele]

It looks great. Is there any chance of seeing a playthrough?

This had the possibility of becoming a top 10 game for me

[@OliverdelaParra]

I’m buying this gane. It has all I like. And the passionate way you speak about it really makes me think that Whalen a game has something to inspire sone to talk like this must be a great one.

[@redbirdbluesong]

Ooo, it is so beautiful.

[@uplift-yourdailypickup6424]

This game rocks. My favorite part is picking characters and placing them in stalls based on thinking about how best to help others. If you pick poorly then no one will go to your stalls and you may do poorly. That's such a novel concept in a euro game. It's usually me-me-me. It's a pseudo-economic game. Everything else in this game feels like just another euro to me, but still love it.

[@michaelpaolini]

Thank you

Good cat mug.

[@undertaker343]

Can kite master who allows u to swap csrds can swap himself ?

[@kindofblue77]

Thanks a lot for the review. How much did you like the 2 Player version compared to the 3 or 4 Player game?

[@teypan]

I would also like to know this, please.

[@GKEK]

Got this game a couple of months ago and I play it at 2 mostly and we love it! The extra character is really easy to manage and definitely tightens up the board. :)

[@shanerion]

I’m enough of a weeb that this is probably a must buy

[@ryanbrown9102]

The reviewers I appreciate the most(*) are those who not ashamed to add comments or ratings in their bgg collection, and do this gesture, this extra mile - for their fans/followers.. Thanks for the video. ( * I wish you were one of them.. )

[@kurokaze204]

Apparently not that biased a review after all. It seems that the judges of Spiel des Jahres agree with you whole heartedly. This game is now in the same halls as Carcassonne and Settlers of Catan.

[@KSweeney36]

I take it no solo mode? I would otherwise like the sound of this game.

[@A6by]

I don't get it. What's fun about it? Why is it enjoyable to play? I play games of all sorts and have for many years, and Iki is the first game I literally haven't understood the point of. And I *want* to, because this is driving me crazy.
