New Expansion to Heat Up Steam

May 19, 2011

If you enjoy the Martin Wallace designed Steam then the latest news from Mayfair Games will be right up your alley!

From Mayfair:

Fans of Steam will soon be building their rail networks in new places around the world. The first of Mayfair Games’ expansions to Steam will be shipping out this summer. The Steam Map Expansion # 1 will offer three new maps in a single pack and these maps will support 2, 3, and 6 players. The Steam Map Expansion # 1 is for ages 10+, requires the ownership of Steam to use, and will have an MSRP of $24.

The three maps in the release are: 1) Belgium & Luxembourg (an expansion for 2 players competing to build an importing empire), 2) the Brussels Metro (an expansion for 3 players developing intercity transit), and 3) Mid-Atlantic US (an expansion for 3-6 players building railroad empires in the Civil War era). Also included will be an extra sheet of Steam tiles. These boards are sure to challenge Steam players with their region-specific rules and challenging topography.

Steam is designed by Martin Wallace; the Steam Map Expansion # 1 is designed by Morgan Dontanville with art by Jared Blando (maps) and John Austin (rules cover and background).
