TOKYO SERIES Pre-order Store

Created by Jordan Draper

This is the official place to pre-order the first three TOKYO SERIES games (Jidohanbaiki, Metro, and Jutaku) at a discount and have them delivered with Kickstarter orders in October, 2018!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

TOKYO METRO gets an expansion (LIVE on KS), overview video, and how to play video!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Jul 08, 2020 at 05:52:59 AM

Hello everyone! Some exciting news for TOKYO METRO fans, there is a brand new expansion OSAKA METRO EXP that brings a new map of the Osaka Metro, a new set of action cards, and a lot more! Head over to the live KICKSTARTER PAGE to see more.

On this new campaign we are getting very close to unlocking Currency Sakana Fireburn stretch goal, which features an amazing rainbow coloring caused by extreme heat. This Kickstarter exclusive color will only be available if we hit the first stretch goal in 72 hours.

Find more information on these games and a new zine Mirror on the KS page or my website.  You'll also find a new overview video and how to play video for TOKYO METRO there :)

Have a wonderful week!

TOKYO SERIES Design Challenge. Import/Export Definitive Edition!
over 4 years ago – Wed, Aug 21, 2019 at 02:33:51 AM

FINAL 48 HOURS & THE ONLY CHANCE TO GET THE:

It's the final 48 hours for the Import/Export Definitive Edition, which will come with 113 custom metal pieces, 177 unique cards, and much much more! This is the ONLY opportunity to buy this, as it is exclusively on Kickstarter and I will not be producing any extra copies. 

GO TO THE KICKSTARTER

Put on your designer hats, because we are on the brink of the first TOKYO SERIES design competition! You will be able to use any of the components from the first 6 titles to create whatever you heart desires. The competition will officially start after the three new games deliver (T TSUKIJI MARKET, COIN LAUNDRY, and GAME SHOW). This is your chance to get a head start!

There will be several prizes, including cash, games, and something even more rare that will incorporate into the series! All of the submissions that are judged worthy will also be included in a special edition book with rules to every TOKYO SERIES game after the 12 games are finished. Exciting! 

I'll have more info on this soon, and I will see you in early 2020 for games 7-9!


The new TOKYO SERIES Kickstarter is LIVE!
about 5 years ago – Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 01:16:38 AM

The time has come! The next 3 TOKYO SERIES games are live on Kickstarter

Lucky you for you, the new metal currency has already been unlocked for everyone, simply back the project and get it for free (MSRP $25)! You can use it to play stand-alone games, or use it as a currency. In fact, the first metal currency, aka 'CURRENCY SAKANA', now has its first game rules posted HERE.

There are a lot of new exciting things awaiting you in the campaign, including a game that mixes JIDOHANBAIKI, JUTAKU, COIN LAUNDRY, and TSUKIJI MARKET, where you go shopping as a Japanese architect in a super market, with variable changing prices! Oh yes!

I hope to see you there!

New Kickstarter moved to JAN 15th & Support for Undelivered Games!
about 5 years ago – Tue, Jan 08, 2019 at 11:16:00 PM

Hello everyone! I've been working non-stop to prepare everything for the new Kickstarter launch today, but it turns out the verification and approval process can now take up to 6 business days combined. I was not expecting this, and as I'm waiting for approval still, I'll be moving the launch back 1 week to be safe.


On January 15th come ready to do your laundry! If we manage to raise $50k in the first 72h, everyone will get the new free metal currency! If you can pledge early in the campaign it would mean the world to me. I appreciate you all more than you know, thank you for sharing my vision to create unique and wonderful games! 

I thought I would share some How to Play videos for a few of the upcoming games :) Grab your detergent and get ready for all out appliance war in 'Wash Machine' & 'Vend Machine':

Or figure out which of your friends are giving you genuine compliments in Praise, a new small box Japanese Designer game:

Find these games and more January 15th, right here on Kickstarter!

At this point in the fulfillment schedule everyone should have received their games worldwide. If for any reason you are still waiting on delivery, please send me an email at [email protected] so we can get it sorted out! If your package was lost in transit for any reason I will happily send out a replacement. 

Stay creative and fun, I'll see you soon!

Support, Suggested Games, Tokyo Series 4-6!

DELIVERY, REPLACEMENTS, SUPPORT!

Hello everyone! I am very very excited to hear so many games have been delivered, and that they are being enjoyed. It really makes me happy, and inspires me to continue! There are some of you still waiting for delivery however, and I want you to know that I will do whatever it takes to get your games to you as fast as possible. Please see the sections below if you have any inquiries:

REPLACEMENT PARTS

If you had a wrong piece in any of your games (Turin Market included), or if your game simply did not have all of the pieces, please send me an email at [email protected]. Keep in mind that if you sent me an email recently, I have been unable to answer due to Tokyo Game Market and PAX Unplugged, but I will get back to you ASAP!

  • TOKYO JUTAKU - Please note that there is a misprint in the rulebook, and the game only includes 68 pieces, not 69! I am very sorry for the mix up, but do not worry if you only have 68. 
  • TOKYO METRO - In the final stretch goal, a clear egress cube was supposed to be included with the game. Panda and myself managed to miss this being added to the game. The good news is, it has no affect on the gameplay. This marker was used to mark where a train departs from, but is not needed, and anything can be used in place of it. I apologize for this, but there is no way to correct it now. Thank you for understanding.

FULFILLMENT SUPPORT

Depending on which country you are from, there will be different points of contact for your fulfillment delivery or missing items. Please note that any emails recently sent to [email protected] are just getting answered over the next two days, due to my incredibly hectic travel schedule. 

Here are the points of contact you should use by region:

Of course you can always reach out to me personally through email as well :)

SUGGESTED GAMES

Here are a few wonderful suggested Tokyo Series game rules to get you started :)

  • Izakaya - I've mentioned this before, but this puzzle city building worker placement game is full of character and unique mechanics that really showcase the custom pieces from all three of the first titles. Highly recommended.
  • Metro Drinks - As soon as you have the hang of the base game of Tokyo Metro, this adds a fun bonus layer to the game with income from building vending machines in the stations. It is my preferred way to play Tokyo Metro.
  • Grape Soda - This modular map checkers/chess game is incredibly quick and simple to pick up and play, with almost no teaching required. It plays great at 2-4 players, 5-6 gets a little chaotic but can still be fun.
  • Vanilla - The newest addition to Tokyo Jidohanbaiki, this game is a really fun rendition of Manilla but in tiny drink format with an upside down vending machine.. I'll be adding a few tweaks to the rules soon as well to bring a little more balance to the game.

TOKYO SERIES 4-6!

SAVE THE DATE! Three more beautiful games are about to join the Tokyo Series on JANUARY 8TH! These three boxes aren't the only new things available on this campaign, stay tuned on social media @thejordandraper for teasers over the course of December!
