Tokyo Train, Newly Released from Cocktail Games

Tokyo Train is a new title from Walter Obert (Hystericoach) and Cocktail Games in which 4, 6 or 8 players compete in teams. One player takes the role of a Japanese train guard and must guide his teammate into placing six passengers into the correct seat arrangement using only arm motions and a limited Japanese vocabulary. Multiple variants are included, such as one that has players organizing nine confused passengers on the Tokyo train. Sounds like typically frantic action from Cocktail in its typically €10 pocket-sized tin.

It’s all in French, but I think non-French speakers will understand the idea…

I have played the prototype in the past years in Italian cons and the game is a great party game. Another good title for mr. Obert!
