Age of Steam Expansion: Southern US & Pittsburgh

About this expansion

Age of Steam Expansion: Southern US & Pittsburgh is a 2007 expansion for 3–6 players, with a listed play time of 120 minutes. It presents two distinct maps, each offering a different setting for building railroads.

The Southern US map stretches from New Orleans to Raleigh and from Memphis to Jacksonville. Focused on the Old South, this expansion includes 14 special Cotton goods cubes, adding a distinctive regional feature to the map.

The Pittsburgh map addresses the difficulties of building industrial railroads through the Allegheny Mountains. It is not an easy job: the only straight tracks are expensive tunnels and bridges, making the terrain a defining part of the challenge.
