Before departure
Build a train with a job for every carriage
Your driver, locomotive, carriages, modules, and cards define the opening deck. Read the complete starting deck before choosing a region.
Protect the core
The official beginner guide recommends keeping a Shield carriage behind the locomotive so the most important cars can absorb pressure.
Read the starting deck
Every carriage adds cards. Check energy costs and attack coverage before a flashy addition makes the deck slower or harder to aim.
Set Fog Thickness
Fog Thickness changes difficulty with stronger enemies and campaign effects. Learn the positioning loop before raising it.
Combat loop
The grid tells you what happens next
- Read the red arrows. Enemy movement and intended targets are shown before attacks resolve.
- Spend energy on position. Moving the train can dodge fire or ram vehicles, but repeated movement costs more.
- Push, then damage. Artillery and environmental collisions can create chains that beat direct damage.
- End the turn deliberately. Press F only after checking every carriage, attack lane, and map object.
