It is a truly wonderful day indeed as today we begin our great competition! At the dawn of the nation of Traintopia — a nation of clean, efficient, and fast transportation — we are looking for a new president, and we know exactly who we want for the job!

In Traintopia, you must build a futuristic train paradise with networks and routes for goods, commuters, and tourists. Exactly how do you go about that? It's easy!

On your turn:

• Take a tile, commuter, tourist, mailbag, or a train from the current offer.
• Grow your network by adding the newly drafted component to it.

Tiles will expand your routes. Commuters and tourists will score victory points when placed. Mailbags and trains will provide end-game bonuses. In more detail, the game tiles contain train tracks passing through different types of districts sought after by different types of commuters. Additionally, along the route you will find various landmarks that attract tourists. You must find the right balance to maximize your scoring potential.

After eight or nine rounds (depending on the number of players), the game is over, then players score completed routes and gain bonus victory points from individual goal cards.
