Age of Steam Expansion: Mexico & China

About this expansion

Age of Steam Expansion: Mexico & China is an expansion for 3–6 players with an approximate play time of 120 minutes, featuring two mounted hardboard maps for the Age of Steam board game series.

The Mexico Map, originally released by the Steam Brothers as part of AoS: Mexico, Spain/Portugal, introduces a special action called Nationalization. This action thematically involves a player’s track being nationalized, adding a strong new source of interaction among players.

The China Map, originally released by the Steam Brothers as part of AoS: China/South America, brings a different special action to the series: Diplomatic Pressure. Using this action requires players to pay to connect cities into their network.

• Two mounted hardboard maps: Mexico and China
• Nationalization on the Mexico Map
• Diplomatic Pressure on the China Map
• Support for 3–6 players
• Approximately 120 minutes of play time

These additions give each map its own distinctive challenge. Mexico’s Nationalization creates interaction through the changing status of player track, while China combines Diplomatic Pressure with tough terrain to make connecting cities especially demanding.

With its two distinct settings and map-specific actions, Age of Steam Expansion: Mexico & China offers an exciting and challenging addition to the Age of Steam series. Players looking for fresh interaction and difficult network connections will find two very different maps to explore.
