Next Station Tokyo (ML)

Welcome to Tokyo, where every player becomes the architect of an all-new subway network. In Next Station: Tokyo, you draw your own lines directly on your player sheet, turn after turn, following the station cards revealed at the center of the table. The goal: connect as many stations as possible to collect tourist stamps, all while keeping your network linked to the precious central green loop that multiplies your score at the end of the game. Every Station card revealed brings a new drawing challenge, and the Shared Objective cards add a layer of strategy where every player chases the same goal, each in their own way. Over four quick rounds, you plan, you optimize, you sometimes improvise when a card shakes up your plans, and sheet after sheet, you end up with a subway map that is entirely your own.

You will probably love Next Station: Tokyo if you are looking for a short, clever line-drawing game that plays just as well solo as it does with a group. Since it does not rely on any text to be understood, it travels everywhere with you: camping, at the cottage, on a trip, or for a spontaneous game night with friends. Its lightning-fast setup and roughly 25 to 30 minute playtime make it a perfect fit for game nights packed with multiple titles, and its stash of 200 score sheets guarantees dozens of plays before you ever need a refill. It is also a great entry point for the whole family, thanks to rules that can be explained in just a few minutes.

On BoardGameGeek, more than 2,600 board game fans have rated Next Station: Tokyo, with an average close to 7.1 out of 10 and a respectable spot on the platform's ranking of top family games. The game continues the legacy of Next Station: London, the series' founding title, which was a finalist for the prestigious German Spiel des Jahres award in 2023. Fun fact: according to player votes on BGG, Next Station: Tokyo requires no text at all to be understood, making it a truly universal game no matter what language the players at the table speak.

Next Station: Tokyo was designed by Australian game designer Matthew Dunstan, also behind Next Station: London as well as celebrated titles like Elysium and Monumental. Maxime Morin's colorful illustrations give Tokyo's subway map all its charm, blending urban neon with playful nods to Japanese culture.
