Railway Boom
Players assume the roles of industrialists during Japan’s railway expansion and build competing rail networks across the country. On each turn players lay track tiles, connect cities, and manage resources to expand companies and increase income. Investment and company growth mechanics let players recruit and upgrade rail lines while balancing cash flow and operational capacity. The game rewards strategic route planning and timing of investments as players vie for the most renown through network reach, profitable connections, and corporate development.
