Steam Time

About this board game

Steam Time is a 2015 board game for 2–4 players, played in about 90 minutes, in which industrializing nations race through time and space aboard gigantic steam-driven airships.

The setting begins in 1899, when strange phenomena are being observed at iconic sites such as Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt. Time itself has begun to behave strangely, while newly discovered crystals reveal unusual properties and make fantastic apparatuses possible.

In Steam Time, the race is on to uncover the secrets scattered across past ages. Airships travel through time and space as competitors pursue vanished cultures, long-lost knowledge, hidden treasures, and the crystals that make these extraordinary journeys possible.

• Travel to past ages in search of forgotten knowledge.
• Search locations connected to strange phenomena and mysterious discoveries.
• Collect crystals and use their unusual properties wisely.
• Stay ahead of competing nations in the race for knowledge and treasure.

The game combines an imaginative steampunk-inspired setting with a contest driven by exploration and discovery. Its central challenge is not simply finding crystals, but deciding how to use them while pursuing the secrets of vanished cultures and hidden treasures.

With its time-bending premise, enormous steam-powered airships, and mysterious archaeological locations, Steam Time presents a race across history unlike any ordinary expedition. Gather what you can, exploit the discoveries of a changing age, and try to remain ahead of your competitors.
