GODŌ: The five paths

GODŌ: The five paths

2025·Vedran Mocibob

1 - 5 players

Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

In a mysterious mountain temple, monks seek enlightenment by mastering five virtues: Kindness, Righteousness, Respect, Wisdom, and Trust. As you journey through the ever-expanding temple grounds, you'll practice virtues to travel paths, gather new insights at intersections, and strive to achieve perfect balance before your rivals. Players build the temple by placing triangular tiles that create colored paths between intersections. Each player tracks their progress on a personal Path Journal. To move along paths, you must "practice" a virtue by moving its token backward on your Journal - representing that progress requires sacrifice. Once you fully master a virtue, you can move along its paths freely. At intersections, players collect virtue tokens and encounter special markers: Fox Shrines for exchanging virtues, Stone Lanterns that end movement, and Sacred Gates for teleportation. Players use collected tokens to advance on their Path Journal, working toward mastery of all five virtues. The game offers strategy through tile placement, path creation, efficient movement, and resource management. The first player to master all five virtues wins. GODŌ also includes a solo mode and a variant play that adds additional abilities. -description from the publisher
