About the game

What you do in a play session

In 1962, Montreal was booming, on the verge of international recognition with the World's Fair and the Summer Olympics on the horizon. Amidst this growth, Mayor Jean Drapeau recognized the pressing need for mass transit: a subway system. Enter the Montréal Métro expansion for Age of Steam! In this expansion, you step into the shoes of government planners tasked with building the city's Metro system and transporting passengers across the island of Montreal. Get ready to navigate a unique feature: neutral tracks, known as 'Government Links,' which alter the route-building dynamics. Plus, there's a new split-level Locomotive to take advantage of these new pathways. This expansion was meticulously designed with a singular goal: to enhance the gameplay experience for exactly three players. If you're a seasoned Age of Steam player looking for a fresh challenge, this map offers a strategic twist, perfect for those who enjoy optimizing their network and delivery operations in a specialized player count.
