Description

Rockwell is a game where 2 to 4 players take on the role of companies working together to drill through the earth's crust to the core. The company that demonstrates the greatest expertise in technical and financial management will win the most prestigious projects in the future. Players acquire prestige through production and delivery tiles, as well as final scoring, which awards points for different majorities. The game is divided into phases where players deploy vice presidents to perform actions, move drill crews, and corrupt or hire subcontractors to increase drilling power. Resources are discovered and split among players who participated in the drilling, with the remainder going to the player with the most drilling power or a mine on the tile. Players can also make investments to improve their drilling conditions and gain renown points, with the goal of acquiring the most renown points at the end of the game.
