Planet Steam - New Release

The discovery of valuable ores and other resources has led to the founding of a new colony, a veritable boomtown hidden away in an untouched corner of a steam-powered world. It won't stay untouched for long, however; entrepreneurs from all over are boarding their airships and then risking a trip across the Boiling Sea to stake their claim. Can you outbid and outbuy your rivals to acquire the most wealth?

Planet Steam is a board game in which two to five players race to assemble equipment, claim plots of land, extract resources, and accumulate riches. Each player assumes the role of an entrepreneur trying to reap the most profit through resource mining. Players extract resources from their zones using tanks and converters, and they buy and sell those resources in a volatile and ever-shifting market. The player who earns the most income will, in the end, be victorious. However, only through shrewd resource management and clever manipulation of supply and demand will any one player reign supreme.

An engaging economic and bidding game, Planet Steam stands apart due to its stunningly illustrated steampunk setting. Massive airships, mechanical wonders of their time, patrol the sky over a steam-grey landscape that's dotted with massive extraction tanks. During the course of a game, players will bid on this resource-rich territory, purchase and upgrade their extraction equipment, manage the storage of their newly acquired resources, and buy and sell their resources on the open market.

Outwit and outmaneuver your rivals! Create shortages or flood the market with resources to stymie your opponents! Are you canny enough to turn a handful of credits into a fortune?
