KAIGAN

Dans les années 1800, Tadatak Ino parcourut le Japon pour effectuer la première carte de ses côtes (Kaigan). Ce travail lui prit 21 ans.

Après 5 tours de jeu, le joueur qui aura voyagé le plus loin, et qui aura le plus contribué à la cartographie du Japon, remportera le plus d'honneurs et gagnera la partie.

In 1800, at 55 years of age, Tadataka Ino started his journey to make the first scale map of Japan's coast (Kaigan) using modern surveying techniques.  His project lasted 21 years and resulted in a 1:3600 scale map that remained the definitive map of Japan for over a century.  Ino's work brought renown not only to himself, but to Japan as well.

In Kaigan, the players, overseeing teams of surveyors, compete against each other to map the coast of Japan.  During the game, the players will generate income by improving their artistic skills and developing relationships with local governments.  Using this money, the players will dispatch their surveyors around the island of Japan in an effort to map its different regions.  After 5 rounds, representing the 21 years it took to complete Tadataka Ino's map, the player who has travelled the farthest and contributed the most to mapping Japan will gain the most honor and will win the game.
