Tokyo Highway: Rainbow City

Tokyo Highway: Rainbow City is a tactile construction game in which a handful of simple pieces becomes an improbable urban interchange. On a turn, players place a column, adjust its height with a disc, and connect a new road that must rise above or dip below an existing highway. Successfully crossing another player’s route lets you add a car, while unstable choices can send roads and vehicles tumbling. Rainbow City broadens the original design with vivid components, updated structures, and mission-driven ways to shape the skyline, while retaining the elegant rule at its center: each new road should create a legal crossing without touching. The result is part spatial puzzle, part dexterity challenge, and part shared sculpture. Careful hands matter, but so do route planning and reading where the growing network will leave room. Every table ends with a city that could not have been planned in advance and is always one ambitious placement from disaster.
