This Age of Steam expansion includes a double sided map with the Western US and Germany. As is 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 are lost when the town is urbanized
- new terrain: swamps
Germany:
- Berlin always receives a cube during production
- Some hexes represent long distances and are expensive, so the engineer halves the cost of one piece of track rather than it's usual effect
- Introduces Interurban links
This Age of Steam expansion was originally published for Essen 2003 by Winsome Games in a limited Essen Set edition. Warfrog reprinted this expansion for Essen 2004. The Warfrog version of the Germany map has several errors, please see http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/28500 for the complete list of errors.
