Age of Industry Expansion: Great Lakes & South Africa

Expanding the Age of Industry universe, this map duo brings fresh air and new challenges to your table! Get ready to explore the Great Lakes region, a 2-player scenario focused on the water and rail routes connecting Canada and the USA. Here, transporting coal and iron ore is crucial for heavy industries like steel and automobiles, but beware: the harsh winter can close the waterways, forcing you to rely on trains and plan ahead to avoid isolation. The South Africa map, for 3 to 5 players, takes you to the late 19th century, in a race to exploit newly discovered gold and diamond riches. The challenge is to build strategic ports in coastal cities and expand development inland, ensuring a continuous supply for the mines. Both expansions maintain the economic and strategic essence of the base game, requiring good hand and resource management to dominate these new and exciting industrial regions. These maps are designed for those who already enjoy Age of Industry and want more depth and new strategies.
