Maglev Metro

Maglev Metro is a route-building and engine-building game where players construct futuristic magnetic levitation rail systems across major cities like Tokyo and Manhattan. Using transparent tiles layered on top of each other, players build increasingly complex networks that allow trains to move faster and carry more passengers.

Each turn, players expand their routes, upgrade their trains, and transport passengers to their destinations. The layering system is a standout feature — as your network grows vertically, it unlocks stronger actions and more efficient movement.

Balancing expansion, upgrades, and passenger delivery is key, as players race to build the most effective transit system.
