Automania

Description

Automania: The Game of the Motor Giants is a classic board game that puts you in the driver's seat as a national car manufacturer looking to dominate the global market. Designed by Ian Livingstone and first released in 1991, this game is all about strategic planning, cunning, and a bit of luck. You'll be competing against 3 to 5 other players, each trying to outmaneuver the others to get their cars sold in six different countries. With a playtime of around 60 minutes, you can expect a thrilling and fast-paced experience that's easy to learn but challenging to master. As you navigate the world of Automania, you'll need to balance your export strategy with clever advertising tactics. Each market has a limited capacity for cars, and the player who spends the most on advertising gets to sell their cars first. But here's the twist - before the sales are made, you'll play a Market Card that can completely flip the script. These cards can introduce all sorts of surprises, from awarding a "Car of the Year" title to disrupting the market with unexpected events. It's a delicate dance between planning and adaptability, as you try to stay one step ahead of your competitors and maximize your profits. With its unique blend of economic strategy, secret unit deployment, and commodity speculation, Automania is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat. While some players may find the Market Cards to be a bit unpredictable, that's all part of the fun. As you vie for victory, you'll need to stay focused and adjust your strategy on the fly. The goal is simple - be the first player to complete a lap around the scoring track, with each $10,000 in profit earning you a step closer to the finish line. Will you emerge as the ultimate motor giant, or will your competitors leave you in the dust? There's only one way to find out - rev up your engines and get ready to play Automania.
