Age of Steam Expansion

Description

The Age of Steam Expansion: America / Europe is a thrilling addition to the popular train-themed board game series. With two new maps, America and Europe, you and 2 to 5 friends can dive into the world of railroad building and competition, navigating the challenges of creating a high-speed rail system. The America map drops you into the height of the locomotive era, where the government has given you a powerful "6" train to kickstart your railroad network. However, with limited goods in demand and high competition, every turn becomes a critical strategic decision to stay ahead of the pack. In contrast, the Europe map puts you in charge of building a super-efficient rail system for Western Europe, where you can create high-capacity, high-speed tracks to double your income. This map introduces exciting new mechanics, such as Express Links, which allow you to build special tracks that provide double income when goods are shipped over them. You'll also have control over goods production, deciding which goods make it to the playing area and potentially limiting your opponents' options. With these new features, you'll need to think carefully about your actions and plan your route-building strategy to outmaneuver your opponents. With a playtime of around 120 minutes, the Age of Steam Expansion: America / Europe offers a fun and challenging experience for fans of train-themed games and strategy enthusiasts. The rules are of normal complexity, making it easy for people familiar with board games to learn and jump into the action. As an expansion to the original Age of Steam and Steam games, this set offers a fresh take on the classic gameplay, with new mechanics and features that add depth and variety to the series. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the series, the Age of Steam Expansion: America / Europe is a great way to experience the thrill of building and managing your own railroad empire.
