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.

League of Six - Board Game...
The year is 1430, a time of unrest and upheaval in the Holy Roman Empire. Echoes of the Papal Schism are still heard in all the lands, the Turks advance in the Balkans, and the Hussite Wars ravage Bohemia.
Even while battling the Hussites, Upper Lusatia prospers. It has been nearly 100 years since the founding of the League of Six - a group of wealthy Lusatian towns that banded together to defend their commercial interests and preserve stability and order in the region.
You have been sent to this embattled land in the role of tax collector. As a young, ambitious aristocrat, you hope to stand out so that you will be given a position in the court of Sigismund, King of the Romans, King of Hungary, and King of Bohemia, the man who will eventually, God willing, be crowned the Holy Roman Emperor.
The tax collector who brings in the most revenue for the king, while simultaneously gaining the support of the civic leaders, has the best chance to find himself by the side of King Sigismund, sharing in the intrigues that will shape Europe. Your path to power lies along the roads that connect the League of Six.
