General Description: For 3-6 players
Age of Steam relives the era of the pioneer US (and now around the World) railroads building the track that transformed America's economy. Can you finance the most extensive track network and the most powerful locomotives? Which routes will give the best return on their costs? Can you beat the opposition to the most lucrative shipments?Will you make enough money to pay your aggressive creditors?

8 out of 10 maps now available=North America, England, Ireland, Scandinavia, Korea, Germany, Western US, France, Italy and New Map of My Own Design The Black Country
(Click on map name above to see an example of the map)
Comments from Players:
North America: Original standard map. Good for all levels of experience. Can be a bottleneck in the middle. CRJB
France: probably better with fewer than 5 players; maybe a good introductory map? RP
Germany:
The initial colours of the off-board cities on the German map greatly affect the tenor of play.  Also, I have yet to play on a bad map. DH

Ireland: tough with 4; better with experienced players RP
Western US: interesting changes from basic game; probably need players to start on both coasts? RP
BlackCountry: a fun map! Still needs some adjusting, but interesting changes from the base game (sort of like Disco Inferno but different).
       Don't let one player have control of the Bescot-SOUTH corridor! RP
