I have selected a old established German game company for the next Age of Steam reprint. The game will have better bits and new artwork. I project a release date of Nuremberg 2008. In the meantime, the game is selling on Ebay for $30. There are plenty available right now, folks.

Hi John,

I already own AoS, and I'm happy with the presentation as is. However, in order to offset an assured storm of speculation, perhaps you could explain what you mean by "better bits". The only bits are the link markers, goods cubes, dice, and money. The only change that would make sense to me is the money. So perhaps you're planning a switch to miniature crossing stations, goods barrels, a set of 6 spinners, and paper money?

Thanks, and good luck with the reprint.

We need a reprint of the first two expansions!!!

Forget the first two expansions: is there any word yet on Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands?

I was depressed that the usual Warfrog reprint(s) failed to occur this year

no.

I would like to inform the public that John Bohrer has not consulted with either the designer or the publisher of Age of Steam about licensing AoS to another company. As far as I am concerned Warfrog still has the rights to reprint AoS, and retains all intellectual property rights to the name, artwork, rules, and system.

Neither Winsome Games nor John Bohrer own any of the intellectual property rights to Age of Steam, (or any other game designed using the 'Early Rails' system), and have not sought nor received permission from myself or anyone connected with Warfrog to ammounce a reprint or revision.

Ooops.

Look at my avatar. Look into my eyes.

There is nothing to see here.

You didn't read anything. In fact you are still not reading anything. Your memory of reading this is just the result of a deranged imagination.

You will visit the thread complaining about the BattleLore Hill Giant promotion and write a scathing rebuttal to what has been posted. You will not remember what has transpired here.


MENTOK WILLS IT SO!!!!!




(See? That's TAKING the mind.)

Indeed.

Martin,

Since you own the IPR to the rules, do you mind if someone types up the rules to Age os Steam and posts them on the geek? Before I got my copy, I found it frustrating not being able to read the rules although I was able to reasonably understand the game from the excellent Strategy Articles posted.

Thanks,
JD

Please go ahead and type the rules of AoS up. You have the permission of the designer and publisher to do so.

Yeouch.
