Want to enjoy a game of Age of Steam, but don't have the time? Try this dice variant, which plays in about 30 minutes, instead!

This takes the main elements of Age of Steam (the special actions, building track, and delivering goods) and distills them down to a Yahtzee-type game playable by 2-4 people. There is no board, there are no auctions, and there's no permanent track built. Instead, you just get 10 dice and 3 rolls each turn.

This is a work in progress, so all feedback is welcome.
