Age Of Steam Deluxe Maps 4: Detroit Bankruptcy & Heavy Cardboard

A new double-sided map board featuring the Detroit Bankruptcy map by Chad DeShon and the Heavy Cardboard map by Kevin McCurdy in the new Age of Steam Deluxe style of Ian O'Toole.

Note: This pair of maps is also available as part of Age of Steam: Deluxe Expansion Volume 1.

Detroit Bankruptcy by Chad DeShon -- The economic collapse in the mid-2000s was felt especially hard in Detroit. Bankruptcies and government bailouts popped up everywhere. Even the city itself declared bankruptcy. This expansion map shifts that economic stress into full throttle right from turn one. There will be bankruptcies. Staying solvent is all that matters. The last player still solvent wins. A new solo mode will be included in the rules for this map - making it a 1-5 player map.

Heavy Cardboard Map by Kevin McCurdy -- This was originally put together to commemorate the 1 year anniversary of the Heavy Cardboard podcast. The city and town names used on this map are board games featured or discussed in Heavy Cardboard podcasts. The map is intended to be fairly open with plenty of space for route building and goods availability. The Heavy Cardboard hex in the center of the map acts as a cube fountain, generating new goods every round and making it an important location since there is no production action with this map. A new special action, "Heavy Lifting," adds the ability to deliver over land between Cities. This leads to some interesting decisions that players need to make during the game. This map plays 4-6 players.
