In Steam, you build railways and deliver goods along an ever-changing network of tracks and stations. You build the tracks, upgrade the cities, improve your train and grab the right goods to make the longest and most profitable deliveries. Score your deliveries and add to your income or victory points, balancing your need to invest and your quest to win the game.
Steam contains a beautiful double-sided game board. The map on each side represents the terrain, towns and villages at the beginning of the railway era. The map of the northeastern United States and neighbouring Canada is ideal for 3 or 4 players. Use the map of the Lower Rhine and Ruhr regions of Europe for 4 or 5 player games. You can play Steam on any number of current and future variant maps and expansions, which is why we've included pieces for 6 players.
The game plays very similarly to Age of Steam, but with changes to some of its mechanics and graphics. The tracks for income, train levels etc. are all printed on the board around the map so that alternative cards can be layered on the board and the necessary tracks can still be used.
