Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

Can I put other cards on the day with my Day Trip card?

No. No additional cards may be placed on that day (p. 2).

Do I have to keep Sunday on the left side of my board?

No. Before final scoring, you may move Sunday to the opposite side, after Saturday. Move all cards beneath Sunday and its Favorable Condition token with it (p. 2).

Do I need a train token between Tokyo or Kyoto and a nearby City card?

No. You don’t need a train token between Tokyo and a Near Tokyo city, or between Kyoto and a Near Kyoto city (p. 2).

What happens to the two City cards I’m dealt?

After setup, choose one and place it on the day with your Day Trip Favorable Condition token; remove the other from the game. You may swap two Favorable Condition tokens on your player board before choosing (p. 2).

When do I choose and score my City card’s option?

During the Final Round, when you reach the City card, place your Location token next to one of its two options. Resolve icons or tokens immediately; otherwise, score the card after scoring the other days in your itinerary (p. 2).

Do the new “previous 2 days,” “next 2 days,” and “day before and day after” icons include bonuses from Wild tokens?

The new icons refer to the indicated days, but Wild tokens and “Highlight of the Day” bonuses do not count for the Kenroku-en example’s nearby-Activity-card icon scoring (pp. 2–3).
