So I finally broke down. I was trying to fill my order wtih my games distributor to get free shipping and I tacked on a few games that I had been wanting to try, but just wasn't sure. One of these games was Steam. It is currently ranked 13th on Board Game Geek so it should be pretty good. Has anyone played this game or one like it?
Update - I just found the rules and am reading through them. I am quite excited - it sounds like it uses a lot of similar mechanics that Twilight Imperium uses.
