Every level of Station to Station starts with a handful of rural buildings. Each building has resource requirements. For example, a mill needs wheat to make flour.
Your job is to build a railway network that connects buildings to the resources they need. You do this by building stations and laying tracks that connect those stations.
But you’re on a budget. Every station costs money to build. The longer your railroad, the more money it costs, and bridges cost extra money.
In each level, you’ll also receive a handful of cards with a number of uses. Cards like Cheap rails and Cheap bridges can be used to save money on construction. These are especially useful if you’re trying to complete the optional challenges.
There are also cards that offer you special trains, like the Heavy Freight Train card. This card doubles the money you earn from building a connection.
Your goal for each level is to connect every building with the resources it needs to run. For every complete building, you’ll gradually populate a beautiful and ever-brightening landscape
Then connect these buildings to a city in order to share the produce with them. This will help your city grow and thrive!
That’s a very brief overview of Station to Station and the main features you can expect from the first few levels.
If you’re going for the high scores then here are some tips to get you started:
We hope you enjoy the Station to Station demo and please fill out our feedback form so we can make the full game even better.

If you’re going for the high scores then here are some tips to get you started:
- You don’t need to directly connect each building. A train will travel through multiple stations in order to reach its destination.
- Try connecting your buildings in a different order to get a higher Stack Bonus.
