Tokyo Highway is a fun multiplayer game which is also incredibly aesthetically pleasing. It's simple and easy to learn, but can have different layers of difficulty each time and will always be random in the way that the roads are laid out.
Each player has a certain amount of roads, columns, cars and intersections, which are placed each turn. The game ends when one player completely runs out of cars. Of course, it's a little more complicated than just laying down a road, placing a car and moving on - each road must either be higher or lower by one column than the ones placed last round (you can ignore this rule by using an intersection piece) and you can only place a car if it's the first road to go above or below another road. Each column can only have two roads on it, and they have to be placed a certain way or it counts as an illegal move, but intersections (as the name suggests) can have more than two roads attached to them, allowing you to move your highway closer to other roads that haven't been crossed over / under. There are also buildings, which are obstacles for you to build around and are randomly placed after everyone has put their first road section down.
I really enjoy Tokyo Highway, and everyone that I've played the game with has enjoyed it too, plus it's quite a nice looking game, both whilst in progress and when finished!
Is it worth my money?
At about £30 I'd say that Tokyo Highway is a must buy - it's great for 'hardcore' boardgamers, people just getting into board games and everyone in between!
