Description
In Age of Industry, you'll take on the role of a tycoon in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, navigating the shift from traditional craftsmanship to steam-powered machines. As one of 2 to 5 players, you'll invest in producing raw materials, manufacturing goods, and building transportation networks to connect them to your markets. With a playtime of 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to develop your strategy and outmaneuver your opponents. The game's design, led by Martin Wallace, offers a streamlined experience with a vast strategic space, where player decisions are limited by color-coded region cards. This flexibility allows for more creative planning, while still presenting challenges and limitations. With its normal complexity level, Age of Industry is accessible to board game enthusiasts, and its lack of necessary in-game text makes it a great option for players of all languages.
