About this expansion

Steam: Map Expansion #4 is a map expansion for 2-6 players, with games lasting approximately 120 minutes. It brings Steam players to two new parts of the world: South Africa and Poland.

The South Africa map supports 3-6 players and places special emphasis on mining as well as markets. This setting gives the expansion a distinct focus, asking players to consider both sources of activity while using the map.

The Poland-based map introduces “Broad to Standard Gage Transitions”. It includes separate rules for different player counts, making this map suitable for both larger and smaller games.

  • South Africa map for 3-6 players
  • Poland map with rules for 3-4 players
  • A separate rule set for 2-player games on the Poland map
  • A new tile sheet for use with the included game boards
  • Additional tiles for Steam: Map Expansion #3

Alongside its two new map areas, Steam: Map Expansion #4 adds extra tiles that can also be used with the third Steam map expansion. This provides additional map material beyond the South Africa and Poland boards.

Whether playing with 2 players on the Poland map or with up to 6 players in South Africa, the expansion broadens the locations available in Steam. Its two settings feature different points of emphasis, from mining and markets to broad-to-standard gauge transitions.

Released in 2014, Steam: Map Expansion #4 is designed for players looking to add new boards, rules, and tiles to their Steam games.
