How the Mode Works

Station trading, strategy cards, a ticket economy, and license gating form the core loop of this mode.

Core Loop

Buy Low, Sell High Across Stations

Travel between stations buying goods cheap and selling them where they're worth more, building up your line's profits along the way.

Getting Started

A Distribution License Comes First

Before you can open a new route, you need to secure the matching distribution license.

Strategy Layer

Strategy Cards and Route Calls

Strategy cards let you call the market ahead of time, giving you a real decision point instead of pure luck.

Currency

Merchant Tickets Are the Core Currency

Merchant tickets double as your score and as the currency you spend on rewards.
