    Hi! This is the developer of the game for Studio Supernova, the italian publisher that will release the international edition. Thanks Jay for the review! Just to clarify, what Jay has is a pre-production sample so there will be still some changes for the final edition ;) we are fixing a couple of the things you suggested to make better (ex the Kaiju will be just shuffled in the deck so it could enter the game VERY quickly!) Update on timings: the game will be released around spring, and will be available also in North America through a distribution partner.

    I love the color palette of the Japanese version, but the Italian version looks cleaner and more practical, plus the slight rules changes makes the Italian version take the trophy.
    I had this as a level 3 of my BGG wishlist. You have sold me to up it to level 1.

      It’s really good! Also, there’s no reason you can’t get the Japanese version and play with the Italian rules. Of course, you’ll need to get your own cars for your CEOs

    BTW, where did you get those stickers to fix-up the Japanese store tokens? I searched on BGG and failed to find anything like that.

    Rule clarification: You can't take the same action twice on the same turn - you need to take 2 different actions. So at the end of the game, you can't take the Move action twice (as much as you'd like to).

      Yes! You’re right! Didn’t say otherwise? 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️ So many things to get right (and me) in a video. Thanks for clarifying this 👍

    Regarding your initial question, I think every one wins who owns either version. Waiting for it to get releases in EU.

    Maybe take the Godzilla meeple, player screens and double printed customers from the Japanese version and add those to the Italian version? Create a hybrid using the best of both!

    How does this compare to Bus by Splotter Games?

    • @CardboardEast
      @CardboardEast  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s been a while since I’ve played Bus, but I do enjoy this more as Bus is a bit old school with everyone first choosing their action selection spots and then you trigger everything else. Shinjuku has actions that immediately take place-very different feel.
