🐸 HOW TO PLAY
Meiji-era Yokohama
In Yokohama Duel, two players compete to dominate trade in a rapidly changing city, where tradition and modernity intertwine and every choice can bring prestige or failure.
Assistants and movement
Each turn, you move your president through the city's districts, supported by the assistants you placed in previous rounds. The strength of your actions depends on the number of assistants present in the area you visit.
Specialized districts
Each area of the city offers unique opportunities: from gathering resources like silk and copper to learning new technologies and completing export orders. Using your districts in the right order is essential to building an effective economic engine.
Foreign agents and targets
You can enlist the support of foreign advisors who offer special powers, or aim to complete prestigious objectives. These strategic choices increase the number of paths to victory and make each match unique.
Commercial supremacy
The game ends when the end-of-game conditions are met. The winner is the one who has accumulated the most prestige points, proving himself to be the most influential merchant in the new Yokohama.

Yokohama Duel
A duel of wits, resources, and timing: who will dominate the port of Yokohama?
Expand your business through the port streets, in a duel of cunning and prestige in the heart of Meiji-era Yokohama.
Yokohama Duel – Japanese Strategy for Two Sharp Minds
The dawn of the Meiji era transformed a simple fishing village into a crossroads of exchange, cultures, and opportunities.
In Yokohama Duel , two aspiring merchants challenge each other in a silent dance of calculation and vision , moving between the city's most strategic districts to gather resources, export precious goods, and win the favor of foreign agents.
But beware: every move is a potential twist. Managing your assistants wisely, anticipating your opponent, and developing key technologies will be the only way to make your business empire flourish.
A tense, refined, and surprisingly deep game, Yokohama Duel is an elegant challenge for two minds that aren’t afraid of direct confrontation.
An elegant and tense 2-player board game where expansion is also control
Yokohama Duel is a 2-player strategic board game , a standalone version of Hisashi Hayashi's original Yokohama , focusing on direct duels between merchants in modernizing Japan.
Each game is a challenge in which players will have to skillfully manage assistants, resources and opportunities offered by the districts to obtain goods (such as copper and raw silk), trade with foreign powers and unlock useful technologies.
The modular board ensures high replayability , while objective cards, agent powers and victory conditions offer various tactical approaches.
Perfect for those looking for a competitive, compact but intense game, Yokohama Duel stands out for its elegance, variety and constant tension.
A must-have for lovers of two-player games who aren't afraid of a close match.
We played it… and it blew us away 🐸
Yokohama Duel is a gem for experienced and refined duelists . The pace is tense but never frenetic, every move is weighty, and the interaction is constant but never destructive .
We were impressed by the balance between strategic planning and adaptability: just when you think you have control, the opponent surprises you… and that's where the game shines.
The quality of the materials is solid, and the setting is well-integrated: one breathes the air of a port, of trade and commercial tensions.
If you're looking for a smart, elegant, and ever-changing 2-player game , this is a title that deserves a place in your collection .
One game leads to another, because losing by a small margin… is the best invitation to a rematch!
