About this game

Build a Rube Goldberg machine of energy converters — each gizmo you install can trigger other gizmos when activated, creating cascading chain reactions of points. Gizmos is pure engine-building joy: easy to learn, satisfying to optimize, and the marble-dispenser component is one of the most tactile things in board gaming.
