After the nobles have settled in Honshu, the journey continues north: Hokkaido. With the large mountain ranges it becomes more challenging to settle.

Hokkaido is played over twelve rounds. Each player starts with six cards, chooses one and passes the remaining cards to the player on the left or right (depending on the round). With the chosen card, the player expands his landscape, placing the card under or over an already played card. After twelve rounds there is a final score and the player with the most points wins the game.
