Age of Steam (game)

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Age of Steam is a strategy board game designed by Martin Wallace, and originally published in 2002 by Warfrog Games on license from Winsome Games. The game depicts the era when pioneering railroad companies built the tracks that transformed the American economy. Its expansion maps adapt the base game, usually with some rule modifications, for play in various locations. The base game, the Rust Belt map, can be played by three to six players, usually takes between two and three hours to complete, and is intended for ages 13 and above. The game supports over two hundred expansion maps, with more continually being created by its extensive fan base, as well as by the original designer.
