Reviewing one's favorite game of all time is not the simplest of tasks.
In every round of Age of Steam, players follow an order of operations in the hopes of increasing the value of their railroad empire.
If this sounds like an inescapable economic ouroboros, don't fret, as at the start of any round, you can take out loans, even if it's the first round of the game.
See, in addition to everything else that happens in one round of Age of Steam, there is an auction for turn order.
