I played Tokyo Highway with friends at my local game shop and had the greatest time! Fortunately, we were all very nimble with our hands and only suffered a minor collapse that was easily repairable. However, I did not take this into consideration when I bought it for my middle/high school students to play at board game club. Though generally the experience was positive, we never quite got through an entire game without the whole thing breaking down on us XD Long story short, children either hate this game or love this game. Subscribed by the way! I like your style of breakdowns! You'll definitely be helping to inspire my next purchases for the club :)
aww Thank you for your lovely comment of inspiration and support. I greatly appreciate it. I'm glad my video helped you. Yes I do agree that the game is fiddly especially the paddle pop sticks. The sticks could have been a little larger and wider. Also I play a house variant where if you knock over the structure that is irrepairable, that player immediately loses the game and the other players win.
@@BoardGameSanctuary We played it again last night and I remembered that comment you made about slightly altering the rules and ran the idea past my students. We didn't decide on anything, but I think that's probably the simplest way to do it lol
@@thomaslardinois6383 Oh thats so cool you suggested it! Yes, I can't see how continuing a game where half the roads have collapsed is enjoyable. Often, I'd find that I couldn't remember where everyone's car was! I think I would rather start the game again. I'd love to hear how the game goes with your students.
My god I was stuck in a room with 3 other people for an hour trying to figure this game out. Even after watching this video I have no idea how the rules work xD
Just got this today, instructions were in Spanish and reading them on my phone was a pain so a couple of questions; Can you place a column AND a road AND a car in your turn? The rules make it sound like you have a choice to do one thing per turn? Also do you only connect to your own columns and road system yeah?
Yes you only connect to your own columns and roads. Think of it like building a snake that doesn't join up with the other player's roads. You place a column and a road on your turn and then ONLY if it crossed over or under another road do you get to put your car out. So the answer is Yes to your first question.
Very well explained, thank you! Love the touches of humour too from a fellow Aussie :D
Peace :D
Review is really well done!
This game is really fun!! This video really helped explain how to play
You are so welcome! Enjoy!

@@BoardGameSanctuary I'll keep you in the loop!
Great review, thanks!
Helpful to watch just prior to our first attempt of the game.
Hope your first game went well!
Short, clean and compact review. Thank you for it!
You are most welcome!
Excellent! Best explanation out there!
Thank you! Appreciate it so much! :)
Great content!
Thank you so much!
4:35 Wouldn't that be a quadruple combo? Since the orange highway crosses the green players highway as well?
I think that the blue player already scored that road on a previous turn, hence the two blue cars. :D

Who needs a rule book when you can some person on the internet explain it
You have come to the right place... :)
I gotta get me this game
Same
Haha, so I shouldn't get this if I have a cat?
Bit off topic, but what screw driver set was that ?
Trojan Screwdriver set! :)
