About the Game

Two maps released for, and given out to all attendees of the 2026 Age of Steam UK weekend.

Fac51 is a symmetrical hex map where no cubes start on the board. The map is a factory floor and cubes are being delivered to assembly stations. Once all colours are assembled then the city clears and starts again. The starting positions of cubes are off board and change throughout each round.

Pharaoh's Favour takes the game back to Egypt and the deserts surrounding the Nile. In this game cubes can now be delivered by slow boats which drift up-river between rounds. This map removes the automatic action selection phase and instead now players must deliver precious stone to the pyramids to EARN actions for the next round. Pharaoh's Favour also introduces a new currency in the form of time which must be spent wisely to build and deliver as much as the player wants.
