	Description Edit \| History

Martin Wallace's new train game is published by Mayfair. The game is of the same family of rail games as Age of Steam and Railroad Tycoon, both previous games designed by Wallace.

The game plays very similarly to Age of Steam but with modifications to some of its mechanics and artwork. Tracks for income, train level, etc. are all printed on the board around the map such that alternate maps can be overlaid on the board and the necessary tracks will still be able to be used.

Re-implements:

Age of Steam

Similar to:

Railroad Tycoon

Steam Upgraded Player Mat v1.0

This is my homemade player mat for Steam with the Steam Baron cardboard/wooden "components" incorporated. The rules for Steam Baron are NOT included. The player mats are for the base and standard games for Steam. Designed on A4 sized paper and color coordinated for each player. I wanted something clean and simple that I understood. Thanks for taking a look and constructive comments are welcome. Special thanks to snoozefest for the original Player Mat: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/44666/steam-player-mats
