Next Station: Tokyo

About this board game

Next Station: Tokyo is a subway-network drawing game for 1–4 players, with a play time of approximately 30 minutes. Set in Tokyo, Japan, it challenges players to redraw the city’s metro plans for the tourist challenges of tomorrow.

Each turn, reveal the next station card and draw a subway line on your map. Every decision shapes your network, so you must optimize your routes as the metro plan develops.

Your goal is to collect as many stamps as possible while keeping your lines connected to the central green loop. These two objectives are at the heart of the scoring challenge: build an effective network, pursue valuable stamps, and maintain the connection that can earn additional points.

• Reveal a station card each turn.
• Draw a subway line on your map.
• Optimize your network to collect stamps.
• Stay connected to the central green loop to earn points.

Next Station: Tokyo combines a clear turn-by-turn structure with ongoing route planning. Since each revealed station card guides the next line you draw, you must adapt your metro plan while working toward the best possible result.

Whether you are competing to create the most effective map or simply looking for a focused Tokyo-themed planning experience, the 2023 game offers a compact challenge built around drawing, connectivity, and scoring.
