Description
Railways of Nippon is a self-contained 2-4 player version of Railways of the World with a new map of Japan designed by the Japanese game designer Hisashi Hayashi. The game takes place during Japan's rapid industrial growth during the Meiji era, where you take the role of one of the entrepreneurial railroad baron 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. Also, watch the competition closely because you can only use the track that you laid down personally to trade.

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!

As you strategize to build your railway network, you’ll engage in thrilling gameplay that combines resource management and route optimization. This game is perfect for fans of tabletop board games and offers a unique blend of competitive strategy that challenges your planning skills.

Why should you play? First, it encourages critical thinking and teamwork, making it ideal for gatherings with family and friends. Second, the history and intricate design immerse you in the vibrant culture of Japan. And, this board game offers endless replayability, ensuring that no two games are the same. If you’re looking for an engaging experience in the realm of strategy board games, Railways of Nippon is an essential addition to your collection!
