Let's Play TOKYO HIGHWAY! - Overboard, Episode 39

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Tokyo Highway is the board game of privatized highway systems - and if that doesn't sound fun, you need to WAKE UP. In Tokyo Highway, players take turns placing popsicle stick highways and try to get all their cars on the road. But they only have so many pieces, and once they run out, it's game over. This week on Polygon's tabletop show Overboard, Clayton Ashley, Tara Long, XTina GG and Simone de Rochefort take to the streets, building roads with shaky hands

I remember being at Gen Con and seeing a giant version of this game being played with the road sticks being three feet long. It stuck in my mind for over five years until I built a giant version for myself at home. Yard parties and BBQs are so much better when the games are giant! So great to see one of my favorite games being played!

I love how
materially simple it is?
it's just like some wooden pegs and ice cream sticks yet it does so much
it really feels like a game someone who's never heard of it before could just accidentally invent again for their own amusement and I really appreciate that

reply

I wasn't feeling the game just based on the description, BUT once you all started putting pieces down, it started feeling like a mixture of Jenga, Pick-Up Sticks, and lining up Domino pieces-- I had my knuckles at my mouth in nervousness!
reply

This was so much fun to watch, but good GOD would I never be able to play it myself. Might have to introduce it to my (large, loud, Italian American) family for the annual Thanksgiving table top game playing though.
reply

Less than 20 minutes in and Simone has already morphed into a hunched-up goblin, looking at the -normal people- at their -table- with a mix of awe and terror. Is that what privatized highways do to people?
reply

The only thing more chaotic than this game alone is watching it with the playback speed turned up even the slightest bit. I know it-s not really that fast but it feels like they are loving way too fast
reply

On the one hand, I sometimes tremble so much when even a bit nervous people think I have an issue. On the other hand. I also have that problem. That's why I enjoyed watching Tina play.
reply

If anyone stopped me at the street and asked -Is the Polygon team the right asset to a highway architectural infrastructure task force? - I would make them watch this video.
reply

Spoilers, I guess:
Awww, wanted Clayton to win but the way everybody (especially poor Simone and Tina) were losing their minds meant we-re the real winners. -

Man, I love overboard! Watch some cool guys play fun games and learn a bit about the Tokyo highway system! Loved the editing on this as well. Smooth and creative: )
reply

I've missed Overboard. Is this the first in a while or have I missed more? Hoping I can find a hidden trove. First time seeing Tina. Great addition to the squad.
reply

XTina's extended full panic sequence. friend. are u good. aosdjhgalk
Also if anyone but Simone won a game about -cars- I would have been sad for her.

reply

I think you made a rules mistake. As I understand it, you're only supposed to give columns for every column, road or car knocked. You don't give roads.
reply

Polygon have given up and are now just trying to see who can upload the most videos before ineivitably dying of an anxiety induced heart attack.
reply

Apparently you can also run your new bridge UNDER other bridges and place a car if there hasn't been one crossed below the opponent's highway yet too.
reply

The video being extremely stressful to watch but the music being some chill jazz and then lofi beats was an excellent editing choice!
reply

Tara nitpicking Tina the whole time was hard to watch, so judgmental, like ya girl maybe you DO need to talk to your therapist after this
reply

Can't wait to show this 3D model-based cautionary tale on the hazards of rogue crane arms to my colleagues in highway research XD
reply

-I want to eat these. what if I swallowed one on camera? - Simone, you should totally meet Holly Musgrave from -No Rolls Barred- -
reply

In this episode of overboard, we learn that cartels are the most effective means of profiting from a for profit transportation system.
reply

Tina showed up to work today in a bracelet and an oversized sweater and they-re like -We-ve got the PERFECT game for you to play! -
reply

'She's hunched perfectly into frame' is such a backhanded comment lol Loved the video, my blood pressure has gone way up though
reply

Overboard is one of my favorite Polygon series thank you so much for putting more love into these! They are the best.
reply

Just hype for the people in this video. Can't wait to see the true chaos of Simone, Clayton, Tara and Tina. 10/10
reply

The unraveling of xtina.
Also, the lo-fi beats bit was p. good
Great video. My dex is too low for this.

reply

10: 00 -that's a centimetre. - I guess you ment millimetre because a centimetre in this case would be quite large.
reply

Simone and Tara acting as the angel and devil on the shoulder as tina struggles is an excellent dynamic.
reply

I don't know if my anxiety will let me finish this video. I would probably die playing this, i'm pretty sure
reply

Whoever did the lofi-beats edit in the middle there is an artist and a genius. Thank you for your service.
reply

Simone's anxiety rubbing off onto everyone else is both something relatable and something very very funny
