What is Mashinky?
Mashinky is an early-access transport strategy game played on procedurally generated maps. You run a transport company, laying rail lines in an isometric grid view, buying vehicles, and managing passenger and cargo routes between towns and industries. You can switch to a 3D view to watch your network operate.

- +you like open-ended transport management across changing eras
- +you want to build a transport network with friends
Not for you if...
- −you want a guided campaign rather than sandbox construction
- −you prefer simpler finances to balancing multiple resource tokens
