About this expansion

Age of Steam Expansion: Alabama Railways, Antebellum Louisiana & Four Corners is a 2009 railway-building expansion for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 120 minutes.

Set during the pre-Civil War period, this full-color expansion focuses on railroad expansion across the American South and West. It includes three maps, each introducing a distinct setting and challenge, with two maps designed for 2 players and one supporting 3–5 players.

  • Four Corners: Build balanced railways across Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado.
  • Alabama Railways: Compete on a tight 2-player map while creating low-income railroads for rural Alabama.
  • Antebellum Louisiana: Build tracks throughout Louisiana while also establishing new towns.

Each map gives the expansion a different focus. Four Corners asks you to maintain balance across a four-state region, while Alabama Railways tests your ability to work with low-income railroads in a rural setting.

Antebellum Louisiana expands the railway-building challenge by requiring more than track construction. Alongside creating routes, you must establish new towns throughout the state, adding a distinct objective to this map.

With its shared historical setting and varied map designs, Age of Steam Expansion: Alabama Railways, Antebellum Louisiana & Four Corners offers three focused ways to experience railroad expansion across the South and West.
