The tactile experience and simplicity of Tokyo Parking make it one of the most addicting single-player puzzle games we've ever played. The inventor, Nob Yoshigahara, cautions: "I can not be blamed if you are late for work, if you cancel all your social plans, or if your lover leaves you. I am sorry."

To play, arrange the wooden blocks to match one of the 36 challenges in the included booklet then attempt to slide the pieces out of the way to free your chosen car from the tangle of gridlock. The puzzles towards the front of the booklet are fairly easy but the ones at the back are nearly impossible!

Please note: We have chosen to carry the Japanese version of this game because we prefer the illustrated wooden blocks to the brightly colored plastic version normally sold in the U.S.

Thomas ★★★★★

I didn't expect a simple single-player puzzle to eat my whole evening, but here we are. The sliding tiles have a weight and smoothness to them that makes each move weirdly satisfying, and the difficulty ramps up without ever feeling unfair. Nob Yoshigahara's warning on the box is honestly accurate.

Carter R. ★★★★★

The little metal cars have a weight to them that makes every move feel deliberate, and I keep telling myself just one more puzzle. It's deceptively simple until you're three moves deep and realize you've boxed yourself in.

Owen ★★★★★

I've lost entire evenings to this thing. The sliding tiles have this satisfying resistance that makes you want to keep going just one more puzzle, and Nob Yoshigahara's warning on the box turned out to be dead accurate.
