Description
In Steam, you build railroads and deliver goods across a dynamic network of tracks and stations. You construct the tracks, upgrade towns, and improve your train to make the most profitable deliveries. With each delivery, you score points and add to your income, balancing your need to invest with your quest to win the game. The game features a beautiful, double-sided board with maps of the northeastern USA and Europe's lower Rhine region, suitable for 3 to 5 players. As you play, you'll experience a mix of auctioning, bidding, and route building, making each game unique and challenging. With its normal complexity level, Steam is easy to learn for those familiar with board games. The game's design and mechanics, created by Martin Wallace and Christopher Moeller, offer a fun and engaging experience, similar to Railways of the World. With numerous expansions available, you can explore different maps and scenarios, adding replayability to the game.
