I bought my little cousins some souvenirs from the Pokemon Center DX in Tokyo, one of which was a Pokemon themed version of a board game called "Ubongo". Kind of like a manipulable Tetris with cardstock but with a different goal, you race to fit the shape pieces into the template card you're given.
In particular I focused on finding souvenirs that could be found in Japan only. I guess I assumed this was a Japanese board game, but I think it might have just been a corporate partnership. Granted, the box was in Japanese and the label on the outside says "for sale in Japan only", so I did achieve my goal. I mean the art on the board game and the box are still remarkably original and beautiful.
The game was fairly satisfying. Little super cousin "Bella" (not her real name) and I had a board game night to ourselves. We ate takeout pho. I made sure to blanch the pho noodles within 10-20 seconds so that they wouldn't get mushy, which I've done in the past.
