Is Momotarou Dentetsu still worth playing in 2026?
Momotarou Dentetsu is the first installment of Hudson Soft's famous railway board-game series, in which you grow a railway network and manage your capital across Japan, in a spirit close to a festive Monopoly. The concept of management and chance, blended with Momotaro's folkloric humor, makes it a surprisingly absorbing strategic party game, founder of a cult series in Japan. The language barrier limits access. Kept exclusive to Japan, it will appeal to fans of digital board games and convivial strategy.
