🚇 Terminus – Dig tunnels, buy influence, and make the city run on your tracks
Terminus is a strategic board game where you build a subway like you build an empire: with limited resources, tough choices, and a network that must work before it can even be beautiful.
You are the manager of a transport company: you travel around the city on a rondel , choosing actions at the right time and playing with the timing between materials, developments and improvements that change the pace of the game.
The market doesn't stand still: it moves, empties, and becomes more aggressive. And as resources become scarcer, every decision weighs more heavily—because here, it's not enough to just build, you also have to anticipate what will be needed next.
Between public projects and personal agendas, Terminus presents you with a compelling dilemma: do you optimize your network or get your hands dirty with politics? Spoiler alert: you'll need both to win.
Why Terminus is a masterpiece of “expert” planning
- Satisfying network construction : stops, connections, and routes that become a driving force.
- Rondel tense: time is a resource and choosing “when” is as important as choosing “what”.
- Variable market : continuous adaptation, reading the market and seizing opportunities on the fly.
- Actions and drafts: brilliant pace, high interaction without unnecessary chaos.
- Public goals + private agendas: points for those who know how to plan and also deviate at the right time.
- It also works as a solitaire board game : brain-sparked, huge satisfaction.
- Publisher Giochix : careful production and a “heavy” but satisfying experience.
Here, the winner isn't the one who builds the most tracks: the winner is the one who gets the city exactly where he wants it to go. 🐸
🎯 COME SI GIOCA
🧤 BUSTINE
At first, everything seems possible.
The map is open, the neighborhoods await, your company has the mandate: “connect the city.”
Then you take a couple of turns and you understand Terminus for what it is:
an elegant race… against scarcity.
Each shift rotates like a gear.
The rondel invites you to plan, but punishes you if you improvise:
If you arrive late to an action, you find less choice.
If you arrive early, you pay dearly.
And while you're searching for your perfect time, others are doing the same… often on the same tracks as you.
The market changes, opportunities move, and the feeling is always the same:
you're not just building lines.
You are building advantage.
There is a moment when you understand that you have "got into the rhythm":
take materials with one choice that enables another,
push an upgrade that unlocks a speedup for you,
and place a stop at the exact point that makes your network inevitable.
But Terminus doesn't give anything away.
Because for every good thing you do… the city makes you pay for it.
With time. With resources. With space.
And when the economy tightens, the best thing happens:
only the solid planes remain.
And the players who know how to read the table.
