Kohaku (2nd Edition) - Tile Placement Nature Board Game for Family, Adults, and Children (1-4 Players, Ages 10+) - 25th Century Games

Kohaku (2nd Edition) invites players into a serene world of koi-pond-building and tile placement, where creating the most beautiful pond is the ultimate goal. In this peaceful game, players score points by strategically placing tiles that represent various elements of a koi pond. Surround flowers with matching-colored koi, position frogs next to koi with dragonflies, and ensure baby koi are safely nestled by rocks to create the perfect aquatic sanctuary.

Adding more depth to your strategy, butterflies score based on line of sight, so you’ll need to align them with similar-colored koi. Meanwhile, turtles and statues bring balance to the pond, scoring points with ease, though their value might be surpassed by other features. The key to success in Kohaku lies in the careful placement of each tile, as once they are set in your pond, they cannot be moved.

What makes Kohaku unique is its freedom in design—there are no shape restrictions for your pond, so you can build a one-of-a-kind layout that maximizes beauty and point-scoring potential. The game also includes a solo mode, allowing players to enjoy the tranquility of koi pond-building alone.
