In this free update, you’ll discover 13 brand-new levels!

[h2] New region: Sunrise Island [/h2]
Sunrise Island, our Japanese-inspired region, is home to 7 levels and 3 new industries: a rice farm, a woodblock art printer, and a sushi restaurant. There will also be new cards to experiment with!



[h2] Dreamland levels [/h2]
We’ll also be adding 6 mysterious new levels to our previous regions, called Dreamland levels! These whimsical new levels offer a fun and unique twist on the classic Station to Station gameplay.
Our team had so much fun coming up with these ridiculous ideas and we hope you love them as much as we do!



We're excited to share the new update with you and can't wait to see you experience all the new levels. So grab your tickets, and prepare to embark on an adventure like no other!

Happy travels!

Hello conductors,
2023 was a spectacular first year for Galaxy Grove and our journey doesn’t end there. As we lay tracks for the year ahead, we wanted to share our roadmap for 2024 with you.


[h2]Update 3[/h2]
The first stop is a brand-new region that we’ll be pulling into in March!

We can't say too much about it just yet, but let's just say that Spring blooms spectacularly in this region, which makes it the perfect time to release it!

While we can’t confirm it yet, do you have any guesses about where we may be heading? Drop your best guesses in the comments below!

As it’s a new region, there’ll be new industries to discover, as well as new card types to be added to your deck! In total, there’ll be 5 new levels in this region, as well as a new tiny level, and a brand new level type that we’ll be releasing this update as well.

💭 Speaking of, every region apart from Greenlands will be getting a brand new level! These are fun, creative levels inspired by whatever ridiculous ideas our level designers could dream up and we hope that you enjoy them as much as we did bringing them to life.
[h2]
Update 4[/h2]
But the journey doesn't end there! As the seasons shift, so does our focus. This Summer, we're throwing open the cab doors and letting you climb into the conductor's seat with the arrival of creative mode!
We're keeping the specifics under wraps for now, but trust us, the power to tailor your Station to Station experience is going to be a game-changer.

Over the next few months, we’ll be able to give a more concrete date for this, but we couldn't be more excited to finally add creative mode to the game! We can't wait to see what you dream up on the rails.

Hello conductors,

Welcome back to the station and a Happy New Year to all of you!

Before the holidays, we asked our community to submit their favourite Station to Station screenshots to be in for a chance to win a physical version of one of our artbooks!

The competition closed last week and we’ve been deliberating all the entries, and we’re delighted to share the winners with you all.

Starting with our third-place winner! We actually had a three-way tie for third place, so this one went down to the community vote!

🥉Third place goes to SirNerdALotSki with his entry Summertime: bird’s eye view.



🥈In second place, is this beautiful screenshot titled Riverside Rush from Starkiller100.



🥇Please put your hands together for our first-place winner: Game0ver, with Express Transport.



Thank you to everyone who took part in the competition. It’s been wonderful looking through all the masterpieces you’ve created and choosing a winner was so difficult.

🏆We’d like to finish up by sharing this collage of all the screenshots that were entered. Let us know what your favourites are!



We’re also putting together an updated roadmap to highlight some of the new content that you’ll be able to look forward to in 2024. We hope to share that with you all soon!
