Age of Steam Deluxe Edition

Description

Steam-belching iron horses roar across the wild plains! Age of Steam relives the era when pioneering U.S. railroads built the tracks that transformed America’s economy. Each self-contained phase in the game keeps players constantly involved in making vital decisions and interacting with other players. You are challenged to:

• Finance both the most extensive track network and the most powerful locomotives
• Determine which routes will give the best returns on their costs
• Beat the opposition to the most lucrative shipments
• Make enough money to pay your aggressive creditors

Age of Steam has been the top-rated train game on BGG for most of the years since it first appeared in 2002. But change is inevitable, and now, nearly 20 years later…

Eagle-Gryphon Games is proud to present Age of Steam: Deluxe Edition!

Whats New?

• Six maps are included on 3 double-sided game boards
• Mini-sized (22mm) poker chips have replaced paper money
• Classic wooden Track Ownership disks in 6 new player colors replace plastic trains, but cool, small (18mm) wooden trains are available as an inexpensive upgrade
• A PVC insert with a clear plastic cover has been added for convenient and clear storage of all components
• A huge, heavy-duty box is supplied to carry the weight of potentially 10 maps, 3 new supply boards, 90 poker chips, 144 tiles, and the other new components (see below). This box is a bit bigger and heavier than those we use for the Vital Lacerda games of Lisboa, Gallerist and Vinhos!
