Transfer squares let you choose your next move, and a wild card lets you name any place you like. There is no fixed start or finish. We begin near your hotel and play until time is almost up, while your guide handles the navigation, stories and fun. Book now and let the dice show you a side of Osaka that is easy to miss.
