Poste 84
1984. An abandoned railway station. A very friendly mayor.
He lends you the money to buy it back. Between friends. At a rate that is a little less friendly. You have until the elections of March 1989 to pay him back.
Or else…
Sell tickets by hand, then let the machines do it
- Read each passenger's request and punch the right ticket: destination, class, single or return.
- Hire clerks, install a ticket machine, then online booking. Watch the wages and the electricity bill.
- Odd customers come to your window: a mother late for her train, a broke student, a man with a brand-new 500 F note…
Run the signal box
- Route every train to a free platform, send it off on time, keep the line flowing.
- Negotiate a new line with the rail company every January: the coast, the ski resort, the capital, high speed.
- Snow, strikes, special trains, company contracts.
Keep an eye on the mayor
- The better your reputation, the more people talk. Pin each clue to your cork board.
- Read the village paper closely: a fire, a resignation, a car at the bottom of the pond…
- Run for mayor, face him in the debate, decide whether to publish your file.

1984. Une gare abandonnée. Un maire très aimable.
Il vous prête de quoi la racheter. Entre amis. À un taux un peu moins aimable. Vous avez jusqu'aux municipales de mars 1989 pour le rembourser.
Sinon…
Vendre les billets à la main, puis laisser faire les machines
- Lisez la demande de chaque voyageur et sortez le bon billet : destination, classe, aller simple ou aller-retour.
- Embauchez des guichetiers, installez un distributeur, puis la réservation télématique. Surveillez les salaires et la facture d'électricité.
- Des clients étranges passent à votre guichet : une mère qui va rater son train, un étudiant fauché, un monsieur avec un billet de 500 F tout neuf…
Tenir le poste d'aiguillage
- Envoyez chaque train sur un quai libre, faites-le partir à l'heure, gardez la ligne fluide.
- Négociez une nouvelle ligne avec la compagnie chaque mois de janvier : la côte, la station de ski, la capitale, la grande vitesse.
- Neige, grèves, trains spéciaux, contrats de la compagnie.
Garder un œil sur le maire
- Plus votre réputation grandit, plus les gens parlent. Épinglez chaque indice sur votre tableau de liège.
- Lisez la Gazette de près : un incendie, une démission, une voiture au fond de l'étang…
- Présentez-vous aux municipales, affrontez-le au débat, décidez de publier ou non votre dossier.
Trois gares au choix. Une sauvegarde dans votre navigateur, un bouton pause, et une musique de synthés jouée en direct par votre navigateur.

- Manual ticketing has to be reduced in restarts - 50 to get your first clerk is barely fun the first time, in subsequent runs it's just tedious. And you still have to do more after getting the clerk before it's fully automated. Basically manual ticketting is not fun, after the initial novelty.
- Rewards for random events need to be shown in the event box. It was a while before I saw the tiny alerts for them at the top.
- Maybe set speed back to x1 after buying online tickets? First time I went in with x4 and was immediately massively backed up before I even knew what I was supposed to be doing.
- Subsequent runs don't seem to be differentiated much - prices come down but otherwise it's exactly the same. And in subsequent runs I never bought online tickets. Winning the election when still underdeveloped didn't seem to make any difference.
- Just FYI this has much more of an AI look than your others - the font, layout, graphics all scream AI. Something to be aware of.
Fun, original theme though! Tacking a political plot onto an econ/train idler is a neat idea. I feel more could be done with it.
