Kisha: a line for each train

Kisha is Japanese for steam train, and one of the three logic puzzles at Tabi Puzzles. Every one is made by hand and checked by a solver to have exactly one solution, found by reasoning alone.

Like Numberlink (Flow) and Minesweeper in one: a line for each train, and stations that count the track around them.

The rules

  • Draw one line for each train, in its colour, from its start to its finish. A line steps from square to neighbouring square, may leave its start any way, and never turns round inside a square. Squares no line uses are fine.AstartfinishAa line
  • Lines may cross, but only on straights: two lines share a square only when both run straight through it at right angles. Otherwise track never overlaps, and no line runs into a void or a station.crossingvoid
  • A station counts the eight squares around it, diagonals included, in which its own train has track — its start and finish count too, and each square counts once. Its number is that count. A station with ? only has to be passed at least once.3station?? station
  • A piece of track printed on the board has to be laid by one of the lines, whichever train it is. A straight piece may still be crossed at right angles.piece
