Game Map
Railways of Nippon
Railways of Nippon is a new map of Japan designed by the Japanese game designer Hisashi Hayashi.
The game takes place during Japan’ rapid industrial growth during the Meiji era, where you take the role of one of the entrepreneurial railroad barons of that time.
You plan and lay track, upgrade your trains, sell goods to distant cities, and use operation cards to become the richest railroad baron of Japan!
Balance your budget wisely, since taking too many bank bonds can ruin your business over the course of the game.
Since the island of Japan is mountainous and narrow there is often not enough space for everyone to lay their track where they want.
Foreseeing your competitors moves and well thought out moves will ensure you an undisputed railroad empire!
