## Description
Terminus is all about building a city’s subway network while juggling a shifting market, a rondel, and resource management. You play as a transit company that must invest in tracks, stations, and upgrades, all while watching rivals race to the same goals. The action‑drafting mechanic lets you pick from a rotating set of actions—buy materials, lobby projects, or move your trains—each turn, adding tension and competition. The market fluctuates each round, so timing your purchases and sales is crucial. Building the network is the heart of the game: connecting districts scores points and unlocks end‑game bonuses that can swing the game in your favor. Variable set‑up means the board changes each playthrough, forcing you to adapt your strategy. Terminus is perfect for fans of planning, economics, and a dash of rivalry, but it does require patience and attention to detail to avoid falling off the rails.

The game lasts 90‑180 minutes depending on player count, supports 1‑5 players, and has a moderate learning curve thanks to mechanics like rondel, open drafting, and grid movement. Components are solid—train pieces, resource tokens, market tiles, and a grid board that makes route planning visual and fun. If you love strategy games that blend economics with network building, Terminus will keep you on track—just be ready to calculate every move.

In short, Terminus mixes the depth of an economic game with the fun of subway construction, challenging your planning, negotiation, and competitive skills. If you enjoy strategy games that demand detail and a bit of market luck, Terminus is a great fit.
