I. Introduction
In this carefree summer morning scene, the boys are captured in a moment of unbridled joy, their laughter and shouts carrying through the air as they prepare to take the plunge into the cool, refreshing water.
It was a sweltering summer day, August 23rd, 2020. The sun beat down on the pavement, radiating heat that seemed to shimmer in the air. At the local pool, a group of boys had gathered, eager to spend their day soaking up the sun and splashing around in the cool water.
Meanwhile, another friend, 11-year-old Leo, was busy trying to perfect his cannonball, much to the amusement of the others. With a running start, he'd launch himself into the air, attempting to make as big a splash as possible. His friends cheered him on, offering words of encouragement and constructive criticism.
A-Train: All Aboard Tourism is a business simulation game
in which you use the railroad to help towns develop.
In the world of A-Train,
people gather around stations, gradually developing the surrounding town.
As president of your very own railroad company,
you are free to build stations and lay train lines as you see fit.
What kind of railroad will you create? How will you develop the town?
All these choices and more are yours to make.
However, as company president,
your job is about more than just developing the transportation network.
It's important that you decorate your town by establishing subsidiaries
and advertise your company to increase your brand power.
The bigger your company grows,
the more freedom you will have to develop the town,
bringing it ever closer to your ideal. Boys At The Pool 41- 2020-08-23 08.56.45 -iMGSRC.RU
In each town, you will find a variety of tourist attractions,
from idyllic hot spring districts to ancient historical castles.
There are many tourists who would love to visit these locations at least once.
However, whether these locations ever reach their full potential
depends entirely on your skill.
If a destination is difficult to reach, it will receive few visitors,
regardless of how stunning its sights may be.
Use the railroad, bus lines, and even ferries to envision and enable enjoyable holidays.
Your success will surely be reflected in the number of tourists flocking to your town.
Any town you can envision is yours to create!
Do you want to see a highly developed metropolis?
Perhaps a quiet town, tucked away in the shadow of its beautiful tourist attractions?
How about a bustling city with a highly efficient transportation network?
You decide the town's future.
This story is yours, told with the help of your friends and associates.
Now, it's time to get started on tourism planning
and begin working towards your ideal city!
