About Kokeshi, from BoardGameGeek:
Step into the role of master Japanese artisans, perfecting the delicate craft of wooden Kokeshi dolls. Your artistry comes alive as you strategically ascend your Kokeshi up five tracks on your player mat, pushing your workshop to produce faster and more skillfully, earning happiness points!
But this isn't your typical engine-builder - Kokeshi introduces the innovative twist of track building.
On your turn, you'll activate one of your tracks, sending a Kokeshi meeple gliding forward to trigger actions. That move might spark a chain reaction, set another doll in motion, or unlock new pieces to expand your track. With every tile placed, your engine grows sleeker, more efficient, and more rewarding-scoring happiness points as your tracks stretch grow.
Craft. Build. Chain. And watch your artistry flourish!
