Tokyo Jutaku

In TOKYO JUTAKU, you take on the role of a famous or emerging Japanese architect with the goal of building small homes on a strange or limited size property.

In this real-time dexterity game, players build with geometric pieces to stack up to certain building requirements, such as height and number of pieces allowed. You can build with only one piece at a time, and the harder your conceptual building, the more you make — if you can complete it first! As soon as one player has claimed five site cards, the game ends, all players sum their total yen payments, and the richest architect will be declared the winner!

This re-implementation of the original highly acclaimed Jutaku includes scaled up pieces and site cards for easier building, high quality gloss finished wood pieces, and comes in the new standardized medium box.
