About the game
What you do in a play session
If you thought Age of Steam was already intense, get ready for some heat! This expansion brings two new map experiences that will have you sweating. In 'Disco Inferno,' the mission is to deliver dancers (goods cubes) to various flaming discotheques. The trick here is that cities can 'burn down' when emptied, and you can chain deliveries to maximize your locomotive's strength. Think self-destructing routes and cascading deliveries! Then, in 'Soul Train,' things get more spiritual (and desperate). You need to rescue souls (more cubes!) from Hell and bring them to Earth, then 'upgrade' them to Heaven. This part uses the flip side of the Disco Inferno board and then flips again to a new celestial map, creating a linear delivery challenge that pushes your strategy to the limit. It's Age of Steam with an extra dash of chaos and unique challenges on each map. Get your tracks and your flames ready, because the fun is guaranteed!
