Let’s Play Steam Time! @Anchorhead Coffee!

It's the year 1899, and strange phenomena are being observed in places like Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt. Time goes crazy, and newly discovered crystals have exhibited strange properties that allow for the creation of fantastic apparatuses. In a race to exploit these discoveries, the rapidly industrializing nations have used them to construct gigantic steam-driven airships to travel through time and space.

Steam Time uses Economic, Drafting, Contracts, & Worker Placement mechanisms. The game is broken up into five rounds in which players take turns placing an airship onto one of six action spaces on monument boards. These actions include: Missions, Encounters, Crystal Deposits, Upgrades, Gold, and Expeditions. What sets Steam Time apart from typical worker placement games is how each action space is variable strength depends on resources you apply and you are constrained to always choosing a higher value placement than the last which makes efficient worker use difficult. Steam Time is the sort of game that gives players many routes to victory and is very replay able due to its modular setup.
New players are welcome, and the host is happy to teach if you haven't played before.

2 - 4 players
90 minutes expected play time, depending on turnout and player familiarity.

(Don't worry, we'll go over the rules on the day, too.)

A few important details:

• The event space is in the basement and there are only stairs (no elevator) if you have mobility issues keep this in mind.
• This event is scheduled to start at 1:00PM PLEASE be on time!
  Please factor traffic & parking into your commute.
• Speaking of… It's Cap Hill/First Hill/Seattle U, so parking can be a challenge. Sorry, it's a walking neighborhood! Anchorhead is only a few blocks from the First Hill Streetcar (Broadway & Pike/Pine or Broadway & Marion stops are about the same distance) and very close to the #2 and #12 bus lines, though.
• Purchasing something isn't a strict requirement, but it's nice to do since we're using the space. Please support the business if you can!
• If you need to cancel please do so as soon as you know. People on the waitlist and playing that day will appreciate it!
• Signing up for this event means other people are counting on you to attend; board games have both a minimum and a maximum player count, so with a limited number of seats available at the table, I want to be sure for everyone's benefit that those seats actually have people in them when the session starts. Last-minute cancellations (less than 12 hours), no-shows, and late arrivals (more than 15 minutes) without good reason will be marked as no-shows for the event and should expect to be automatically moved to the waitlist for any and all future events they join which are hosted by me.
• I open signups for most of my events 1-3 days before pressing the "announce" button here on Meetup; if you want to know about that when it happens and have the opportunity to claim a seat before others, you can join the Seattle Board Games Discord server, where I'll post to let users there know as soon as RSVPs open as well as posting polls for future meetups!
