Age of Steam Expansion #1: England & Ireland

About this expansion

Age of Steam Expansion #1: England & Ireland is a railway game expansion for 3–6 players, with an approximately 180-minute play time and a 2003 release.

This expansion includes a double-sided mapboard presenting two distinct settings. One side covers England and Wales, while the reverse features Ireland, giving the set two regional maps within a single expansion.

The England/Wales map is designed for 5 or 6 players. It provides a dedicated map setting for larger groups within the expansion’s overall player range.

• England/Wales map: designed for 5–6 players
• Ireland map: designed for 3–4 players
• Double-sided board: includes both regional maps
• Ireland-specific rules: cover the special development of the Irish railway system

The Irish map is intended for 3 or 4 players and introduces new rules covering the special development of Ireland’s railway system. These rules distinguish the Irish side from the England/Wales side while keeping both settings together in one expansion set.

With its two player-focused maps and regional rules, Age of Steam Expansion #1: England & Ireland expands the available game setting to England, Wales, and Ireland. Its 180-minute play time makes it a substantial addition for groups looking for a longer railway game session.
