Iron horses belching steam roar across the wild plains!
Age of Steam relives the time when America's pioneering railroads built the tracks that transformed America's economy. Each self-contained phase of the game keeps players constantly involved in making vital decisions and interacting with other players. You are challenged to:
-Financing 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 expeditions
-Earn enough money to pay your aggressive creditors
-Age of Steam has been the top-rated train game on BGG for most 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!
What's new? Six cards are included on 3 double-sided game boards, mini size (22mm) poker chips have replaced paper money, classic Track Ownership wooden discs in 6 new player colors replace plastic trains, but cool and small (18mm) wooden trains are available as an inexpensive upgrade, a PVC insert with a transparent plastic cover has been added for convenient and transparent storage of all components.
A huge sturdy box is provided to carry the weight of potentially 10 cards, 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 the ones we use for Vital Lacerda games from Lisboa, Gallerist and Vinhos!
