This game is fantastic! Highly interactive, exciting, unique! 6 phases, 4 out of which are bidding phases with different resources. After Yokohama, one of our favourite games, Hisashi Hayashi did it again!

Description
At the end of the 19th century, at the dawn of Japan's Meiji era, the country inaugurates its first railroad line between Shimbashi and Yokohama: the introduction of this new mode of transportation triggers a true railroad fever throughout the country. Hoping to benefit from this boom, entrepreneurs from everywhere found new railroad companies, small regional entities that over the course of the Taisho and Showa eras are gradually absorbed by the large companies of the most influential magnates. Now it's your turn to build your railroad empire: guide the fate of your company by purchasing trains, expanding your rail network and developing industrial innovations. Over four rounds you must wisely employ your resources - money, raw materials, technology and coal - at auctions to secure the most advantageous shares. Make the most of the opportunities and transform your railroad company into the most prestigious in the country!

A phenomenal game worthy of the two amazing designers and the high expectations their credentials set.
10.0/10
Great game for Auction-lovers. (4 auctions in 1 round?!) The iconographic of Ian O'Toole is very clear so there is no text to read except for the rulebook. There are quite a rules but very easy to remember all.

This one should have been a strong no from me. I don´t like Route Building and I hate auctions. And yet, this one is so good. Trying to build combos. Wanting the trais to deliver you goods only to find different goods from them would have been better, because you could combo them with wagons. Strong recommend.
9.5/10
I didn't expect anything and it was just amazing after first play. This is one of the most interactive heavy euro game. It is mainly an auction game, with some twists. There is a lot of depths and it seems lot of different strategies work. Great replayability too. Overall one of the best euro game out there.
