About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! Ready to get your hands dirty and build the most modern subway system in the world? In Maglev Metro, you step into the shoes of a visionary magnate set to replace old underground transport systems with cutting-edge magnetic levitation technology. Imagine super-fast, quiet, and efficient trains whisking workers and robots across the city in record time! The goal is straightforward: expand your metro network, connecting stations and ensuring your passengers reach their destinations as quickly as possible. To achieve this, you'll use transparent tiles to build your routes, even potentially overlapping your opponents' tracks – who knew track overlap could be so strategic? Robots come into play to upgrade your abilities and help you achieve unique goals that score bonus points at the end of the game. It's a game of tile placement, route building, and managing your transport 'engine' for maximum efficiency. With two different maps to explore, each game offers a fresh challenge for those who enjoy optimizing routes and watching their metro network grow. If you're into transportation games with a futuristic twist and clever mechanics, Maglev Metro is definitely the one for you!
