Fuel a steampunk city's mega-machine — one exploited forest at a time.
Who it's for
Heavy Euro fans who enjoy layered worker-placement engines with a thematic edge and don't mind a meaty rulebook.
Not for you if…
You want a light or short session — Daitoshi's rondel and multiple systems ask for real investment and table space.
Vibe's take
Heavy and methodical — a slow-burning engine-builder where every district move opens new options while quietly costing something elsewhere.
Daitoshi drops you into a steam-powered city racing toward its most ambitious project yet: a giant mega-machine. Moving your magnate between districts, you send workers to labor, exploit forest and river hexes for fuel, and expand your city's reach and electrification — even as the wilderness around it quietly shrinks. Whoever contributes most to the city's greatness comes out on top.
