Industrial Waste

Industrial Waste (2001) is a fast but deeper game by Jürgen Strohm in which you run factories, and your waste is your problem. You buy materials, complete orders and invest in technology improvements to earn victory points, but every bit of waste piles up in your factory dump. Let it grow too far and you risk an environmental disaster with hefty cleanup costs. The tech upgrades that need less waste, fewer resources and a smaller workforce are the heart of the game. Resources are bid for, hand management matters, and actions come from drafting cards. The first player to grow their factory to a value of twenty ends the game, and the highest score wins. A good fit for two to four players.
