Product Information
In the late 19th - early 20th century, America is a booming industrial land. Factories run non - stop, and city demand is soaring. Shipping barons engage in a fierce rivalry. They must manage airships and the railroad system to deliver goods to cities before competitors. Those who can't keep up will end up with empty coffers! The gameplay is straightforward. Factories produce various goods like machinery, textiles, chemicals, food, and luxuries that city people desire. Airships, unable to land in cities but great for long - distance cargo, collect goods and take them to rail depots. Trains then transport the goods to the cities, with the first arrival earning cash. The game spans five rounds. At each round's start, players plan airship flights using four movement cards. Everyone reveals the first card and moves airships according to turn order and card limits, then takes an action such as building depots, upgrading airships or trains, shipping goods by rail, or getting funds from the bank. Throughout the game, players need to watch the rising values of different goods and transport the most valuable ones from specialized factories to the right cities. At the end, the player with the most money and the largest shipping network becomes the 'King of Air and Steam'! This game includes seven character teams with unique powers and a modular game board for a different experience every time.
How to play: First, understand the game's setting. You're a shipping baron in early 20th - century America. At the start of each of the five rounds, pick four movement cards to plan your airship flights. Once everyone's ready, reveal the first card. Move your airship as per the card's turn order and limits, then choose an action like building a depot or upgrading your transportation. Keep an eye on the value of different goods and try to get the most valuable ones to the cities that want them. Do this through airships and trains.
