A fish market, kabuki and yose (vaudeville) theaters were located there. The gold (Kinza) and silver (Ginza) guilds were established there and, in addition to minting money, attracted inhabitants and cultural figures from around the country. Wealthy merchants, in concert with feudal lords and the various houses in the region, developed the cultural activities of the city of Edo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first Nihonbashi bridge was built in 1603. The Nihonbashi river and the many surrounding moats were used for boat traffic, bringing goods from all over Japan! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Iki - Akebono expansion adds 5 additional concepts to Iki: \u003cbr\u003ethe City Board\u003cbr\u003eBoat Building\u003cbr\u003ethe River Trade Track\u003cbr\u003ethe Nihonbashi Bridge\u003cbr\u003ethe \"Grand Master\" variant for 2 players\u003cbr\u003eIt also contains many new elements, whether additional cards (buildings, characters...) or tokens (fish, tobacco, pipe...).\u003cbr\u003eCity outing and 2-player mode\u003cbr\u003eIn Iki: Akebono, two new boards are added to your main board: the city board and the Nihonbashi bridge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe City Board has several uses:\u003cbr\u003eit allows easy placement of Character cards and Buildings,\u003cbr\u003eit brings a new way to manage the arrivals and departures of the city's artisans.\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Grand Master\" mode is an improvement to the two-player game. It introduces a neutral Oyakata, the Grand Master, who moves on the Nihonbashi market against the players. Once he stops in front of the stalls, he increases the artisans' experience by one level! \u003cbr\u003eIf he reaches the Nihonbashi bridge, he advances the players on the Trade track. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 river board, \u003cbr\u003e1 city board, \u003cbr\u003e13 wooden pawns, \u003cbr\u003e55 cards (59x91mm), \u003cbr\u003e34 tokens, \u003cbr\u003e1 score pad, \u003cbr\u003e2 rulebooks (English, French)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNihonbashi River and Bridge\u003cbr\u003eThe great novelty of Akebono is the extension of the market, via the Nihonbashi bridge! \u003cbr\u003eThis allows for multiplying strategies and discovering new ways to play. This board features a bridge that hosts Celebrities, but also a river that allows for river trade. Players will have the opportunity, via the construction action, to launch their own boats. Each boat has its specialty: transforming resources into other resources, offering additional tokens (tobacco, pipe, fish), gaining experience for an artisan, etc. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen another player uses one of your river merchants, you advance on the Trade track. This grants you bonuses after the Fire phase. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a bit of luck, by going to the bridge, you might spot a Celebrity! These illustrious personalities from the Edo period can be recruited for free and provide you with powerful abilities or new alternatives to score Iki. But beware, there are only two Celebrities per season: only the fastest Oyakata will be able to hire them!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59641639862606,"sku":"HAC-00748","price":36.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1035\/7581\/4478\/files\/239.jpg?v=1778620937","url":"https:\/\/www.boueb.ch\/en\/products\/sorry-we-are-french-iki-akebono-extension","provider":"Boueb.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
