Where to buy
An economic train game set in Meiji-era Japan, where players compete as railway tycoons building networks and managing resources. Much of the tension comes from repeated auctions for turn order and action priority, followed by expansion, train purchases, technology development, and scoring opportunities. It aims for a medium-heavy euro feel centered on route building, timing, and efficiency.
