TOKYO METRO

I recently had the chance to play TOKYO METRO and I have to say, it’s a fascinating and surprisingly complex game. The premise is simple: you’re an investor looking to build up stations across Tokyo and profit from train lines. But the execution is surprisingly deep.

The worker placement system is the heart of the game, and it offers a lot of interesting choices. You can choose to focus on building stations, investing in train lines, or even speculating on lines you don’t own. Each choice brings its own risks and rewards, and it’s a lot of fun figuring out the best strategy.

The game’s real replication of Tokyo is also a nice touch, adding a bit of thematic depth. The map is beautifully designed and the stations are clearly identifiable, which makes the game even more immersive.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend TOKYO METRO to anyone who enjoys economic games with a heavy focus on strategy and player interaction. It’s a game that’s easy to learn but difficult to master, and it offers a lot of replayability with its multiple routes to victory.
