The One Hundred Torii review

The One Hundred Torii is a beautiful tile-laying game set in a Japanese garden. The game is easy to learn and quick to play, making it perfect for family game nights. The artwork is stunning, and I particularly enjoyed the cultural information included in the rule book that describes the iconography used in the game.

The gameplay is simple: players take turns placing tiles to expand the garden, claiming rewards as they go. The goal is to earn the most journey points by passing through as many torii gates as possible.

I found the game to be very engaging, and I enjoyed the strategic decisions involved in deciding where to place my tiles. The game also has a solo mode, which I found to be quite challenging.

One of the only downsides to The One Hundred Torii is that it takes a bit of time to set up the game. There are a lot of pieces and tokens, and it can be a bit overwhelming at first. However, once you get the game set up, it's a lot of fun.

Overall, I highly recommend The One Hundred Torii to anyone looking for a beautiful, engaging, and strategic tile-laying game.
