Relive the Age of Steam!
Considered by many to be the best railroad game of all time, Age of Steam is back in stock at Game Stack.
Steam-belching iron horses roar West across the virgin territory in the new edition of the 2003 IGA award-winning game.
Age of Steam relives the era when pioneering US railroads built the tracks that transformed America’s economy. The intense action is centered on the industrial hubs of the growing nation: Pittsburgh,Cincinnati, Chicago and beyond.
The challenges that await you include:
• Can you finance both the most extensive track network and the most powerful locomotives?
• Which routes will give the best returns on investment?
• Can you beat the opposition to the most lucrative shipments?
• Will you make enough money to pay your demanding creditors?
Competition is brutal, with the game usually going to the player who plans ahead most carefully.
Each self-contained phase in the game keeps players constantly involved in making vital decisions and interacting with other players. Age of Steam also allows towns to be developed into cities, ensuring that no two games are exactly the same.
Age of Steam can be played by three to six players, usually takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete, and is suitable for persons aged 13 and above.
