About the game
An additional freighter for Planet Steam, fresh from the IPF. The Golden Eagle carries up to 3 resources of whatever kind. It gets auctioned at the beginning of phase B. The winner of the auction places his bid beneath the card. During change of year the owner has the opportunity to prolong the rent once for an extra year for the exact amount under the card. The whole amount of credits is then payed to the bank. If the rent is not prolonged, the Eagle returns to the IPF and is again auctioned. Any resources on the Eagle may be redistributed.
