About this game
Race to build the most productive factory engine by drafting blueprint cards and rolling worker dice. Each round splits into a marketplace phase (draft cards or hire contractors) and a work phase (assign dice to your factories simultaneously). Factories chain together: one produces steel, another converts steel into goods, a third scores points for goods produced. The simultaneous work phase eliminates downtime, and the race condition means you are always watching opponents' engines for the tipping point. Engine building at its most streamlined.
