Oink Games has revealed a new tabletop title that they are taking a unique approach with, as they have released Souvenirs From Tokyo. The game is centered around traveling around the city, collecting one-of-a-kind items before the other players do, and aiming to have the most by the end of your visit. The odd thing they're doing with this title is they're selling it specifically through the company's Japan store, so it feels like you're getting the game the same way you'd get items in the game. It's a cool idea, but the current 15% tariff on Japan (as of when we're writing this) might sour a few people on the idea. In any case, you can read more about the title below.
