Factory Fun
A real-time pipe puzzle where each player builds a factory as fast and smartly as possible.
Who it's for
You like puzzles, planning and a light time pressure. A good choice for groups who prefer building their own thing over attacking each other.
Not for you if…
You want a lot of player interaction or you freeze under time pressure.
Vibe's take
Busy, focused and slightly frantic. Everyone is hunched over their own board, planning pipes, while the clock pushes you to commit before your layout is perfect.
About this game
Factory Fun is a real-time puzzle where everyone builds their own factory at the same time. You have a floor with a pillar in the middle, reservoirs full of yellow, blue, red and brown raw material, and a stack of machines you can buy. Each machine takes up to three inputs and produces one output, and everything must be connected with pipelines. Early on that is easy, but as you add machines it turns into a plumbing puzzle where one wrong connection ruins the lot. Connect machines to each other to make fancier products worth more money. The player who builds the most profitable factory wins. Expect concentrated silence, followed by shrieks when a pipe line clicks into place.
