Description

The Age of Steam Deluxe box (2023 edition) has been changed to be the same size as our other Deluxe Games, such as On Mars or Weather Machine.

With the box size increasing, it allowed us to rotate the map boards and place them in the box perpendicular to the manner in which they were in the previous game box. This allows us to have a more functional, sturdy and centralized insert for the base game box. The new design allows for the track tiles to be stored in a similar manner to before, but divided by type. This is helpful when you don't wish to remove all the straights or gentle curves from the tray while playing - just the track tiles you need. It also features dividers for the different types of complex track tiles so that it is easier to quickly remove them from the insert for setup.

Steam-belching iron horses roar across the wild plains! Age of Steam relives the era when pioneering U.S. railroads built the tracks that transformed America's economy. The cut-throat action is centered on the industrial powerhouses of the growing nation: Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago, and beyond.

Challenges that await you:


Can you finance both the most extensive track network and the most powerful locomotives?
Which routes will give the best returns on their costs?
Can you beat the opposition to the most lucrative shipments?
Will you make enough money to pay your aggressive creditors?


Competition is brutal, with the game usually going to the player who plans 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.
