Age of Industry Expansion #1: Japan and Minnesota

About this expansion

Age of Industry Expansion #1: Japan and Minnesota is a 2011 expansion for 2–5 players, with an approximate play time of 120 minutes. It adds the first pair of expansion maps for the 2010 release Age of Industry.

The expansion consists of a double-sided game board, with a different map on each side. One side presents Japan, designed by Larry Whalen, while the other presents Minnesota, designed by Kevin Beckey.

Both maps are built for the Age of Industry system, but each includes its own small changes. These map-specific twists make the two sides feel different from the original maps, giving players new ways to experience the established game.

• Japan: A map designed by Larry Whalen.
• Minnesota: A map designed by Kevin Beckey.
• Double-sided board: Two expansion maps in one component.
• Distinct twists: Both maps modify the original system in ways that set them apart from the base game’s maps.

Whether you choose Japan or Minnesota, this expansion provides a focused way to vary sessions of Age of Industry without replacing its core system. The two-sided format also makes it easy to switch between the maps and explore the different character each one brings.

For fans of the original game, Age of Industry Expansion #1: Japan and Minnesota offers two new settings and fresh variations in a single expansion, supporting games for two to five players.
