Age of Steam Expansion

Description

Age of Steam Expansion: Greece and Cyclades is a thrilling addition to the Age of Steam board game, offering two distinct settings that will put your strategic skills to the test. In Greece, you'll navigate a challenging map where rugged mountains and the Corinth's canal drive up construction costs, and the capital Athens is home to over a third of the population, making every move count. To make things even more interesting, the country's financial crisis means that investment is a risky business, and players will have to pay increasingly steep interest on their shares. But that's not all - the Cyclades expansion takes the game in a completely different direction, ditching traditional hexes for a unique map where players connect islands by placing discs on the edges of squares or at their intersections. This innovative setup opens up new possibilities for creative gameplay, and the Urbanization action lets players create new islands, adding a whole new layer of strategy to the mix. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be up and running in no time, ready to compete with 3 to 5 players in a game that will last around 120 minutes. As you delve into the world of Age of Steam Expansion: Greece and Cyclades, you'll experience the thrill of pick-up and deliver gameplay, where the transportation of goods and resources is key to success. Designed by Alban Viard and released in 2011, this expansion builds on the foundations of the original Age of Steam game, offering a fresh and exciting challenge for fans of trains and transportation-themed games. With its unique mechanics and engaging settings, Age of Steam Expansion: Greece and Cyclades is the perfect way to breathe new life into your board game sessions and enjoy hours of fun and competition with friends.
