## Overview

Railways of Nippon is a strategic board game for 2-4 players, set in Japan during the Meiji era. Players take on the role of railroad barons, planning tracks, upgrading trains, and managing resources to outmaneuver competitors and build a prosperous railway empire.

## Description

Railways of Nippon is a 2 to 4 player version of Railways of the World that includes a new map of Japan designed by the superstar Japanese game designer Hisashi Hayashi. Improvements include:  A lower MSRP due to the reduction in size to 2-4 players  A much smaller and much sturdier box, sized for easier storage  New player colors that do not overlap the supply and demand colors of the cubes and the cities  A new ECM -- the "timer" of the Railways of the World series of games  Water drops on the maps to indicate water hexes and avoid confusion  Four scoring track disks (in player colors)

## Features

- 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!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the game... half the footprint!
*by V***V on May 15, 2019*

I bought this version after a buddy introduced me to the original railways of the world. This is a FANTASTIC game no matter what map you're playing on. Since I never play at high player counts like 5-6 (I rarely even play at 4) I don't need all the extra stuff from the base game. This standalone box seats 4 and the map is tight and can get very aggressive. Overall If you like train games, and/or you're thinking about getting in to this particular series. I would NOT recommend the base game or its 10th anniversary edition. Start with Nippon. Its got everything you want, but will take up less than HALF (Literally) of the space on your game shelf.
