Capsule Transit

Connect the neon grid. Outthink two rivals. Dominate the metro. Capsule Transit is a tactical route-building strategy game set on glowing transit maps. Draft colored passes, claim track segments, and complete secret destination tickets before your opponents do. Every route you lock in scores points; every ticket you finish pushes you closer to victory — and every rival you underestimate will punish you for it. PLAY FULLY OFFLINE No Wi‑Fi. No cellular data. No account required. Capsule Transit runs entirely on your device, so you can play on the subway, on a flight, or anywhere signal disappears. Install once and jump into a full session whenever you want. TACTICAL ROUTE-BUILDING STRATEGY Each turn, choose one move: • Draft Passes — take two cards from the face-up market or the deck • Claim a Route — spend matching passes to seize a track on the map • Draw Tickets — pull secret destinations; keep at least one Longer links and express lanes pay more. Hub cities become battlegrounds. Secret tickets can swing the score — but unfinished tickets cost you at the end. The game ends when someone is down to their last trains; everyone gets one final turn. Plan ahead, adapt fast, and read the board like a strategist. DIVERSE AI OPPONENTS — UNIQUE STRATEGIES You face two AI rivals every journey, each with a distinct personality archetype: • The Voyager — focused on their own journey; builds toward tickets and hubs, rarely blocks on purpose • The Saboteur — thrives on disruption; snatches routes you need, even when it hurts their own plan • The Grandmaster — balanced and calculating; plays the long game and blocks when the moment is right Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard before you start. On Medium, each bot’s archetype shapes how they actually play — not just how they look in the lobby. On Hard, the field gets ruthless. Preview your rivals, study their styles, and adjust your strategy every match. ICONIC METRO SYSTEMS • USA Classic — the original 16-city cross-country grid. Completely free. Forever. Unlimited journeys, no paywalls, no timers. • Memphis Metro — river corridors, suburban spokes, and mid-South chokepoints • Paris Night — two banks, Seine crossings, and routes through the heart of the city • Tokyo Night — neon loops, bay crossings, and midnight express lanes Climb the local High Score Grid and chase your best run on every map you unlock. PREMIUM MAPS (OPTIONAL) USA Classic stays free for everyone, always. Premium is a one-time purchase that unlocks Memphis Metro, Paris Night, and Tokyo Night, with unlimited play on all three — no subscription. Try each premium map once before you buy. Restore purchases anytime from the app. GUIDED RUN INCLUDED New to route-building? Start with the guided tutorial and learn drafting, claiming, and tickets step by step.
