	Description Edit \| History

Nippon Rails is an Empire Builder game set on the islands of Japan. It is considered to be among the more challenging maps, given many narrow portions that are susceptible to purposeful blockage by opponents. Includes a unique tunnel feature linking the main island Honshu to the northern island Hokkaido.

Part of the crayon_rail_games series.
