Hachette Boardgames will release IKI: Akebono, a new expansion for IKI by Sorry We Are French, on August 9, 2023.
The new expansion introduces the bridge of Nihonbashi to the game. The bridge expands the main street and allows players to meet with famous personalities from the Edo era, such as Hokusai Katsushika, Sanyo Rai, or Tokunai Mogami, and to trade with the ships in the river. It also adds new character cards, building cards, and new pipe, tobacco, and fish tokens to the original game, which was nominated for a Kennerspiel des Jahres in 2023 (see “Spiel des Jahres 2023“).
IKI: Akebono supports two to four players with the base game, ages 14 and up, and plays in 60 to 90 minutes. It will retail for $37.99.
