Age of Steam: Nov. 6–8

Next date: Friday, November 06, 2026 | 09:00 AM to 09:00 PM

A whole con for playing Age of Steam. 200 maps and a bunch of other people who love playing Age of Steam as much as you do. Cardboard Corner Cafe is partnering with Age of Steam Con (AoS Con) to bring a three-day weekend of playing at the Lenexa Public Market.

Over 200 Maps

If it has ever been published, it will be at Age of Steam Con. Any print-and-play or giveaway of note will be there too. If you want it, we'll have it.

XL

What if everything were twice as big? The map, the tiles, the wooden discs, the goods cubes, and even the goods-growth dice. It's really big.

Free NEW Map

Everyone will get a free copy of the con map. We have a few candidates, but we are going to do a little playtesting before we announce what the map will be.

Pre-Con

Thursday evening is a great chance to meet people "before" the con starts. And it's an opportunity to play some non-AoS games if you desire.

7 and 8 Player Games

With all these AoS players around, it is easy to get some big games in on the normally hard-to-fill 7 and 8 player maps like Netherlands and Central New England.

Rare Maps

Sharing, 20,000 Rails Under the Sea, and other hard-to-find maps. No plastic trains, only wooden discs.

No 18XX

There are other cons for that. Last year some fillers and Winsome games did get some play between Age of Steam games.

Beginners Welcome

There will be some people who have played AoS over 150 times. There will also be people who have played it a couple times. Everyone is welcome.

The People

Last year 80+ people attended AoS Con. This year we are expecting around the same.The great people are the biggest reason to come to AoS Con.

Playtesting

Many of the attendees are AoS map designers. Want to help playtest their map? Many are looking for testers and feedback during the con.

The Binder, The Spreadsheet, and The Drawer

There is a printed spreadsheet with abbreviated rules for every map, a binder with the full rules, and a giant file cabinet with all the maps. It doesn't sound that exciting as I type it out, but it is really a sight to behold in person.
