About this game
Diesel-punk Eastern Europe after a great war — mechs roam the fields while farmers try to build their engine and score victory points before the factory closes. Combat is rare but loaded with bluffing, and the production engine is deeply satisfying to optimize. Gorgeous, unique, and deceptively tense.
