In the strategy game Yedo, players assume the roles of Clan Elders in the city of Edo during the early years of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The object of the game is to amass Prestige Points, mainly by completing missions. To do so, players must gather the necessary assets and – most importantly – outfox their opponents and prevent them from completing their missions. But be careful to make the right choices, for in Yedo, eternal glory and painful disgrace are two sides of the same coin…

Yedo is a thematic worker placement game that often gets compared to a more complex Lords of Waterdeep. In addition to worker placement, there is player interaction in the form of attack cards and an auction mechanic. It’s just been announced that it’s getting a new version, so this would be a good way to check out the original. 2-3 hours, but I’ll set it at 4 so there’s time to teach.
