Tips & Maps
Comfortable travel by ferry
Ferry routes are faster than trains for long distances with few stops, particularly the Tsuruga to Otaru shortcut from Honshu to Hokkaido. Be cautious of red square hazards on ferry routes, use quick movement cards like Shinkansen to pass through red zones rapidly, and remember that items cannot be purchased while on the ferry.
Winning Strategies
The game offers hundreds of potential winning strategies, and players are encouraged to discover their own while utilizing provided hints on specific tactical approaches.
Even if you have to take a detour, get to the card shop!!
Express train and Shinkansen cards are essential for recovering lost time, so players should always keep 2-3 of them in hand. If these cards are exhausted, it is prioritized to rush to the card shop even if it requires taking a detour.
Don't fear the summer minus stations!!
Minus stations in June through August have small penalties, so players should plow ahead without fear. Winter minus stations from December to February require careful attention due to large penalties, and players should check surrounding stations to avoid being stuck after rolling a 1 on a plus station.
The Tokaido line when you have no money!!
When funds are negative, moving from Tokyo to Shizuoka to Nagoya on the Tokaido line helps save money as this line consists mostly of plus stations. To buy many cards, head to the Ou main line from Niigata to Akita, where card stations are densely located.
Bring a jump card for Hokkaido and Kyushu
When Wakkanai, Kushiro, or Kagoshima are destinations, detour to a card shop to acquire a jump card to gain a significant lead. Using a jump card at Wakkanai can reach Sapporo even in the worst case, and holding two jump cards is a safe option for future opportunities.
Remember the cards others are holding!!
Be cautious when using movement cards like 3-advance or 1-advance if opponents might hold BLOON cards that could destroy them. Additionally, watch for opponents holding POOP cards when following them, as this can force you into a large detour.
Buy out all the properties in one station!!
Purchasing all properties in a station doubles the revenue generated, making it worthwhile to stretch funds to buy cities where no one else has properties. Sado Island and Okinawa are specifically highlighted as desirable locations for this strategy.
Sell tons of cards in the final year!!
In the final year, selling cards at the shop is a viable strategy to secure funds, as cards are bought back at high prices. This tactic can make the difference in close matches rather than focusing on distant destinations.
