Shinjuku*

Shinjuku is a strategic network-building and pick-up-and-deliver game in which you build stores across Tokyo and the rail lines connecting them, aiming to assemble the most successful retail-and-rail conglomerate.

Each turn new customers arrive on the map looking to buy one of four goods. On your turn you choose two different actions: build a store, expand your rail, upgrade to a department store, draw cards as income, or move customers along the rail to your stores. Cards matching locations where you’ve already built act as wilds. The game ends one round after the last customer is placed, and victory goes to whoever collects the most sets of customers.
