Originally published for Essen
2003 in a limited edition paper form by Winsome games, the Western US and
Germany expansion received the full Warfrog treatment for Essen 2004 and was
released formally as the #2 expansion set.
As is becoming the standard, each map introduces not only a unique layout, but
new rules.
Western US:
- Special rules involving transcontinental networks
- Towns start with goods cubes that can be lost if the town is urbanized
- new terrain: swamps
Germany:
- Berlin always receives a cube during production
- Some hexes have very high costs so:
- the engineer halves the cost of one piece of track rather than it's usual
effect
- Some zero length links

Age
of Steam
Steam belching iron horses roar across the wild plains in
Warfrog's first railway game. Age of Steam relives the era of the
pioneer US railroads building the track that transformed America's
economy. The cut-throat action is centered on the industrial powerhouse
of the growing nation Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and beyond.
The game is based on Winsome's popular Early Railways system, created by
Martin Wallace. The major changes to that system is the addition of
track tiles allowing you to build your own routes. Age of Steam also
allows towns to be developed into cities, ensuring that no two games are
exactly the same. |
