Lord of Mysteries Railway Tycoon Guide 2026: Routes & Cards

Railway Tycoon is entered from the depot, not from a menu. Standing at the platform the interaction prompt 开启【铁路大亨】 sits beside the train, and opening it produces the departure panel titled 风险博弈. Five rows are listed: 新手上路, 稳步进阶, 抉择之旅, 风险博弈 — the tier this run plays on, highlighted — and 变幻远征, greyed out and labelled 城堡5级解锁 behind a padlock. Under the tier list the panel prices the trip: 初始物产 holds one good at 160 units worth 2400, the 快捷装载 button fills the three slots, and the line underneath states that on departure your carried goods convert automatically into 商会票券, 2400 in this loadout. The 出发 button is the only way in.

The run opens with a cut rather than a menu. The locomotive pulls out of the depot with 已到达始发站 across the top of the screen, and the next frame is the first station's counter. From there the loop is identical at every stop: a 交易区 panel on the right with 买入物产 and 卖出物产 tabs and three goods slots, the 策略卡 rack on the left, and a 前往下一站 button at the bottom with a 快速过站 checkbox beside it for skipping a stop you have nothing to do at.

At the 始发站 the 交易区 panel reads 本区域剩余站点 酒庄x1 食铺x0 商行x3 and 拥有 4500 — the 商会票券 the board hands you at the start. The 买入物产 tab lists three goods, 可可奶酒, 双莓果酱 and 刻花瓷碟, each priced at 35 with 限购0/22 and 持有 0: cheap here, twenty-two of each available, nothing in the hold yet. 业绩目标 reads 4500/9000 on 生效期限 5站. Every later frame in this recording shows the same habit — fill the quota at each stop, because the goods you carry are what pays for the next purchase.

Leaving a stop opens the card screen: 从以下三个策略卡中选一个并使用, three cards, one 确认 button, and a circular refresh arrow on each card. All three offered here are conditional payouts. 好礼·酒庄 reads 如果下一站是【酒庄】，获得50件【蜜浸培根】; 好礼·商行 offers 25件【白桦尼波斯】 if the next stop is a 商行; 馈赠·商行 offers 50件【盐渍牡蛎】 on the same condition. The top-right panel is the thing to read first — 本区域剩余站点4站 breaks down as 酒庄x1, 食铺x0, 商行x3, so two of the three cards are betting on the same station type.

The 物产价格 button on the left edge opens 站点货物参考价格, a table with three columns: 货物名, 可买入站点 and 可卖出站点. Every row is a station pair with a price band — 白桦尼波斯 is bought at 酒庄 for 38~77 and sold at 商行 for 49~124; 双莓果酱 is bought at 食铺 for 24~49 and sold at 商行 for 31~79; 盐渍牡蛎 runs 食铺 31~62 into 商行 40~102; 蜜浸培根 runs 食铺 38~77 into 酒庄 49~124; 刻花瓷碟 runs 商行 24~49 into 酒庄 31~79. That pattern is the whole game: buy where the band is low, carry the good one station type over, sell where the band is high.

This stop is a 酒庄 — a winery counter with barrels behind the keeper — and the 交易区 panel is on the 卖出物产 tab. Three goods are listed with this shop's prices, 双莓果酱 42, 白桦尼波斯 91 and 盐渍牡蛎 42, and beneath each row the panel prints how much of it is in your hold: 持有 44, 22 and 0. 业绩目标 has moved to 10666/9000 on 生效期限 4站, and the panel in the top right now reads 本区域剩余站点3站 — 酒庄x1, 食铺x0, 商行x2 — because two stops have already been spent.

Selecting the item art on a card opens that good's own entry. 蜜浸培根 is typed 工坊物产 and its description block reads 城堡工坊物产之一，可以用于：订单、火车交易 — one of the castle workshop's goods, usable for orders and for train trading — with 获取途径 naming 城堡工坊-麦田食坊 as its source. The same screen carries the third card family on the right: 议价·酒庄, which instead of paying items reads 如果下一站是【酒庄】，下一站物产购买价格-50%. 持有: 0 tells you the goods on the card are not in your hold yet; the card is the delivery.

The sell tab is where the money decision happens, and it prints four things per good: the price, a change badge, the shop's 限售 quota and your 持有. Here 双莓果酱 sits at 42 behind a red 21% badge, 白桦尼波斯 at 89 behind a green 47% badge, and 盐渍牡蛎 at 100 under the label 不再收购 — this counter has stopped buying it, however high the number looks. The 限售 counters read 0/44, 0/44 and 44/44, 拥有 6260 in 商会票券, and 商会票券×4400 of goods riding in the hold. 业绩目标 20805/9000 on 生效期限 2站 is the reason to convert goods into vouchers now rather than later.

Halfway through, the card screen offers a different family. 商会福利III reads 下一站物产购买价格-25%，出售价格+25% — a flat discount and a flat premium on the next stop, with no prediction needed — while 好礼·商行 still pays 25件【白桦尼波斯】 and 议价·酒庄 still halves the 酒庄 purchase price. The top-right panel has switched label: it now reads 下一区域站点5站 — 酒庄x3, 食铺x1, 商行x1 — because the current zone's stops are all spent, and the route bar reads 剩余10站. Cards that do not depend on the next stop's type are the safe pick when the next zone's mix is not shown yet.

Clicking a row opens the per-good sell dialog, and it is the clearest confirmation of the price table. 雪松朗齐 carries its own two lines, 可买入站点：酒庄 and 可卖出站点：食铺, above a flavour description, and the numbers underneath are the trade: 限售 140, 单价 120 with a green (+76%), 总售价 120 for a single unit, and 卖出高于成本 79 — the margin this sale is running at. The tab behind it shows 持有 114 of 可可奶酒, 92 of 雪松朗齐 and 66 of 镀金妆镜, with 拥有 16592 and 业绩目标 40944/50000 on 生效期限 4站.

The last card screen of the run shows how far the modifiers go. 升级·商行 reads 如果下一站是【商行】，把所有的【蓝色物品】升级为【紫色物品】 — a straight rarity upgrade on everything blue in the hold — 畅销·酒庄 pushes the purchase discount to -60%, and 馈赠·商行 still pays out 50件【盐渍牡蛎】. 本区域剩余站点2站 (酒庄x1, 商行x1) leaves the 酒庄 card a coin-flip, while 62298/50000 on 生效期限 3站 means the current target is already beaten and the cushion can be spent on cards that raise the next stop's prices.

The cards you confirmed are applied when the train lands, and the client says so in a banner over the street: 商会福利II生效，本站出售价格+30% — chamber benefit II is active, sale prices at this station are up 30%. This is the mechanic behind the green badges on the sell tab: the percentage is the card, not a market you have to model. Note where the message prints — over the running locomotive and market arcade rather than on the trading board, which is the only place it appears in this recording.

Not every stop is a counter. Between stations the recording rides the locomotive through the market arcades — bunting, gas lamps, umbrella stalls and a second train on the neighbouring track — and this is where the route bar earns its place: 剩余N站 counts down, and the zone's station panel is the only warning you get about whether the next stop is the 商行 your card is betting on. Every frame on this page comes from this one run, so the scenery and the numbers change at the same pace.

The last stop is the terminal, and its button changes from 前往下一站 to 抵达终点. The banner that lands is 达成业绩 — target achieved — at 374463/225000, and the reward strip underneath prints what the run paid into the account: 认知经验×54000, 冒险勋章×240 and 世界冒险秘宝:进度×60, plus an achievement toast tagged 铁路大亨. In the 交易区 panel behind it, 下一区域站点 reads 酒庄x0 食铺x0 商行x0 and 拥有 212223 — every stop on the route has been spent.

The result screen names the run rather than describing it. 本局评分 374463/225000, 完成站点 15/15, 本局评价 铁路大亨 V阶 — the highest grade anywhere in this recording — and then the two lines that explain the whole board: 贸易赚取商会票券 212223 earned by trading, and 剩余物产转换商会票券 162240 converted out of everything still in the hold at the end. 奖励物品 holds 银锭 ×29958. The narration of the shorter recording calls this the top rank a run can reach; the score bands behind the grade are not printed on screen.
