Inotaizu

 

In 1800 Tadataka Ino started his project to make the first scale map of Japan’s coast; a journey that took him 21 years and resulted in a map that remained valid for more than a century. Players compete to make up the map. You use money to send out surveyors and earn money from improving your artistic skills and from contacts to the local administration. After five rounds you win with most fame from the longest journey and the biggest contribution to the map. You play action cards, apply actions, place neutral cartography markers, score, receive income in rounds 1-4 and score fame points in rounds 2 6 4.
