Tokyo Highway: Rainbow City is a visually stunning and spatially challenging board game based on the hit Tokyo Highway, this time enhanced with colorful elements and new mechanics. It’s a game of dexterity, planning, and balance, where players build a complex network of highways inspired by the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.
The game draws inspiration from the real Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway—a multi-level network that winds above and below the city. In the Rainbow City version, colorful cars, buildings, and additional elements bring this foundation to life, creating the feel of a vibrant modern city. Players compete to expand their own highway network through this bright urban landscape as skillfully and efficiently as possible.
Players use pillars, roads, and cars to construct multi-level highways. Roads must not touch others, requiring precision and spatial awareness. When your road crosses an opponent’s, you can place a car on it—this is the main source of points. In the Rainbow City version, cars come in different colors, introducing new rules about when and where they can be placed. This edition also includes buildings that affect road placement and add extra strategic possibilities. The game rewards accuracy—poorly placed roads can collapse, costing you progress.
The minimalist yet colorful design is a true visual delight—final setups often resemble artistic installations. The combination of physical dexterity and strategic planning is rare and refreshingly unique. 🚗🌈
