Age of Steam Expansion - Sun / London
From the Publisher...
Age of Steam Expansion: Sun Welcome to the exciting business of mining solar flares and sunspots for energy. Link the magnetic vortices of sunspots to drain their rich supplies of energy, creating new sunspots in the process. As a competing faction within the Solar Energy Commission, you are responsible for constructing the most extensive and profitable sunspot mining network; the comfort and decadence of billions of people depends on you. This Age of Steam expansion includes the following unique features:
Dynamic Town Creation: The Sun initially doesn't have any towns. Instead, any time a player upgrades existing track a new town is created. This results in a constantly-evolving map that puts an entirely different twist on traditional Age of Steam strategies.
Restationing: The Urbanization action has been replaced by the Restationing action, allowing a player to move one city from its current location to a town. All eight cities in the game are fully mobile in this way.
Links Capacity: Instead of just increasing Links Size (how many segments of track a good can be delivered across), players have the option to increase Links Capacity, allowing for more than one good to be delivered simultaneously.
Instant Production: As soon as a goods cube is delivered, it is replaced on the map immediately with a cube from the production chart.
Custom Playing Mat: A custom playing mat designed specifically for Age of Steam Expansion: Sun is included.
Players: 3-6
Optimal number of players: 3 or 4 Download the rules pdf in full color at the following link:http://games.bezier.com/Sun-LondonRules.pdf Age of Steam Expansion: London
From J C Lawrence (Clearclaw on BGG)From the outrageous real estate prices to the fees associated with the unions, building a railroad network in London is incredibly expensive, challenging veteran Age of Steam players to properly balance their debt and asset (track) investments. This exceptionally ruthless and unforgiving Age of Steam expansion includes the following unique features: Union Overtime Fees: Building track has never been more costly, as London's unions charge outrageous overtime fees that escalate wildly for each additional tile that you build. The engineering action streamlines the building process, reducing these costs dramatically.
Additional Track Builds: Each player may build up to five tiles of track each turn. At the end of the game, track is worth 50% more than in a standard Age of Steam game.
Instant Production: As soon as a goods cube is delivered, it is replaced on the map immediately with a cube from the production chart.
