I have Age of Steam, but have never gotten to play it, so enjoy watching you all play so much. Wish you could play more 18xx, another series of games that I own, but don’t get to play. Also more power grid!
Comment on one of Martin's closing remarks: Shrey is technically correct: *Some* maps are interchangeable between Aos and Steam, just depends on the map. A number of of Ted Alspach's maps, for example, come with rules for using them for Aos AND for Steam.
For a long time Age of Steam was my favorite game that I had never played. I got to finally play rust belt (with one of your Patreons) at Dice Tower East. Also, my Kickstarter copy just arrived so I get to find out if my group enjoys it or not sometime soon!
At 1:04:15 I exclaimed "No, Martin!" (I was rooting for Martin) - He passed up a golden opportunity to connect to one of those blue cities in the NorthEast. All he needed was to come out of the top red city and join up with Edward's new black city (cost $2+$3+$2) and there was no way Edward would be able to stop him reaching one of the two blue cities with the next build.
I do think that my build then was a mistake. But I think the better play would be an incomplete build from red to blue. If I put blue next to black I can’t get decent points for black deliveries.
Cool map! The recycling is a really interesting twist. Think I'd definitely enjoy this map
It’s so good to see Alyssa back on stream! And this recycling mechanism is super compelling!
Agreed on both points!

I love the recycling mechanism. I'm one of those who has never played AoS, but this map and mechanism was captivating.
Oh boy oh boy! The AoS videos are my favourites! I would also love to see Railways of the World get some covering at some point :)
Noted! Glad you enjoyed them!
Great playthrough, congrats Edward. Had to leave the stream early for work, but great job!

I was almost expecting Martin to take first build in the last round to cut out Edward's build.
So did I!
