Description

In the steampunk world of Steam Works, you'll take on the role of an inventor, collecting components and power sources to build incredible machines. With unique starting components and special abilities, each player has their own strengths and weaknesses. As you assemble modular component tiles into devices, you'll create new action spaces for other players to use, adding a social twist to the game. As devices become more complex, they'll provide a wide range of effects, from gaining resources to earning prestige points. With three power types - clockwork, steam, and electrickal power - and a modular mix-and-match system, each game is unique and full of surprises. With 2 to 5 players and a playtime of 90 to 120 minutes, Steam Works offers a fun and challenging experience that's different every time, making it a great choice for fans of science fiction and industry-themed games.
