The Game Makers
Run a board game factory and manufacture the classics you own.
Who it's for
Hobby veterans who will recognize half the catalogue and want a medium-weight production engine wrapped around it.
Not for you if…
The real-world titles mean nothing to you – without that recognition it is a solid but interchangeable factory Euro.
Vibe's take
Busy and gleefully meta – producing Ark Nova on your own assembly line stays funny while the production puzzle quietly tightens around you.
About this game
The Game Makers puts you in charge of an inherited board game factory, hiring staff, building an assembly line and racing to manufacture over three hundred real titles from real publishers.
