📖 About This Game
The two maps in this expansion were originally published by John Bohrer / Winsome Games in two other expansions with paper maps.
- The Southern US Expansion was originally published as part of Age of Steam Expansion: Southern US & Pittsburgh (2007)
- The Western US Expansion was originally published as part of Age of Steam Expansion #2: Western United States and Germany (2003 1st edition, 2nd edition is on game board stock but has printing errors)
The maps for this expansion are printed on normal boardgame stock - not mere paper. Rules are included but you will need the base Age of Steam game to play.
