Love this game, played it a bunch of times on BGA - each game super unique, never play a similar game each time. If you've played Faraway, it has very similar mechanics, trying to score icons on itself - super fun, easy to play once you get your head around the gameplay.
I really enjoyed playing Let's Go To Japan. I played it not long before actually going to Japan last year, and strangely, the trip I played in the game was pretty similar to the actual holiday that I had! It plays really well on BGA and is a great way to get a game in quickly. I would highly recommend this game!
