Description
In Factory 42, you'll take on the role of a factory Overseer in a steampunk industrial setting, navigating a complex web of resource management and negotiation with 2 to 5 players. This Euro-style board game combines worker placement and a cube tower to create a challenging puzzle that requires strategic thinking and a bit of luck. With its unique blend of cooperative and competitive elements, Factory 42 challenges players to balance individual goals with the need for temporary alliances and shared resources. As you manage your factory, you'll need to acquire resources, load them onto railcars, and manufacture goods to meet government orders. But beware - the Bureaucracy Tower can randomly deliver or withhold resources, adding an element of unpredictability to the game. With its intricate mechanics and themes of industry and fantasy, Factory 42 offers a engaging and immersive experience that will keep you on your toes for 90 to 120 minutes.
