Machi Koro Strategy: Win More

Proven Machi Koro strategy: prioritize the Train Station, cover 6-8, build smart card combos.

1. Build the Train Station First

The Train Station (cost 4) is the most important landmark. Rolling two dice doubles your activation range and gives access to Cheese Factory (7) and Furniture Factory (8).

2. Cover Numbers 6-8

With two dice, 6, 7, and 8 are the most common sums (each appears 5-6 times out of 36). Build Cheese Factory (7), Furniture Factory (8) early.

3. Build Combo Chains

Mine + Furniture Factory: each Mine gives 5 coins, Furniture Factory gives 3 x (Mines + Forests).
Wheat Field + Cheese Factory: 3 x cattle buildings.
Orchard + Fruit Market: 2 x (Wheat Fields + Orchards).

4. Radio Tower Over Amusement Park

Radio Tower (22) lets you reroll once per turn - more reliable than doubles bonus.

5. Watch Opponents' Colors

If opponents build red restaurants targeting your numbers, diversify.
