Age of Steam Expansion

Description

If you're ready to take your train game experience to the next level, the Age of Steam Expansion: Alabama Railways, Antebellum Louisiana & Four Corners is the perfect addition to your collection. This expansion, designed by Ted Alspach, offers three unique maps that challenge you to build railways in different regions of the United States during the pre-Civil War era. With two maps designed specifically for two players and one for three to five players, you can enjoy this game with a friend or a larger group. The gameplay takes around 120 minutes, so be prepared to settle in for a few hours of strategic fun. The three maps in this expansion offer distinct twists on the classic train game formula. In Four Corners, you'll need to balance your railway development in the scenic regions of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado. Alabama Railways, on the other hand, is a tight and challenging map that requires you to create low-income railways in rural Alabama, making every move count. Antebellum Louisiana adds an extra layer of complexity, as you'll not only need to build tracks but also establish new towns throughout the state. With these varied maps, you'll need to adapt your strategy to succeed, making the game exciting and unpredictable. As an expansion for the base games Age of Steam and Steam, this set builds upon the core mechanics of auction/bidding, commodity speculation, network and route building, pick-up and deliver, and tile placement. While the rules may take some time to learn, the payoff is well worth the effort. With its unique blend of strategic planning and tactical execution, the Age of Steam Expansion: Alabama Railways, Antebellum Louisiana & Four Corners is a must-have for fans of train games and complex board games. Released in 2009, this expansion has been a favorite among gamers for years, and its engaging gameplay continues to attract new players.
