How to Play Trains | Official Rules

Can you build the greatest rail line in Japan? Now is your chance to find out! Trains is a deck-building game where you work to build the strongest system of rails throughout Tokyo or Osaka.

Your cards not only allow you to buy other cards to tune your deck, but they will also allow you to build train stations and rail lines along the board, which are your key to victory!

Object of the Game

The goal of the game is to have the most powerful railway network! You accomplish this by collecting Victory Points from cards, railways, and stations.

To gain Victory Points, you build a deck using cards from the various options that will be available to you. You will build the deck as you play the game, with each player starting with the same small set of cards.

Use these cards to build railways around Tokyo and Osaka, and ensure your deck runs as effectively as possible turn to turn.
