How It Plays

Contracts

You fulfill specific orders or contracts for rewards — choosing which ones to pursue is a big decision.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

End Game Bonuses

Extra points are awarded at the end for meeting certain goals — keep an eye on those bonus objectives!

Market

There's a shared marketplace where prices shift based on what players buy and sell — supply and demand in action.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Multi-Use Cards

Each card can be used in multiple ways — deciding how to play it is a juicy strategic choice.

Rondel

Actions are arranged in a circle, and your token moves around it — where you stop determines what you can do.

Set Collection

You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.

Simultaneous Action Selection

Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.

About This Game

Your office job has been grinding you down. Then one mysterious Monday, you receive a letter from your family lawyer informing you that a long-lost relative has bequeathed you a factory. You decide to risk it all, quit your day job, and follow your dream to become the greatest board game manufacturer the world has ever seen!…
