Fantastic Factories

Product description Fantastic Factories

Fantastic Factories is an arms race! Compete against other players as you try to build the most efficient series of factories in the shortest time. You must carefully manage your blueprints, train your workers and produce as many goods as possible to achieve industrial dominance!

In Fantastic Factories you play to produce the most goods or own the most prestigious buildings. Fantastic Factories contains the elements of rolling dice, worker placement, building machines, managing resources, tableau building, simultaneous actions and a bit of luck when drawing cards. Each round is divided into two phases, the market phase and the work phase.

During the market phase, you choose whether to purchase a new blueprint for free or pay to hire a contractor. Blueprints are used to build new factories during the work phase. Contractors can be used to strengthen your strategy by providing resources or allowing you to roll extra dice. You have to pay close attention to what cards are available on the market and what strategies your opponents are following.

During the work phase, all players roll their dice simultaneously and use them as workers to run factories. Factories start as blueprints and must be built. Once built, each factory can be used once each turn. Placing workers can be done in any order, and figuring out the right order can enable a powerful chain of actions. Additionally, you can build training facilities that allow you to manipulate the dice values of your workers. Each work phase is like solving a unique puzzle to optimize your production of raw materials and goods.

Once a player has produced 12 goods or built 10 buildings, the end of the game is triggered and an additional and final round is played. The player with the most points wins (combination of building prestige and goods produced). With over 30 unique blueprints and countless synergies between buildings, every game is unique. Fantastic Factories has high replayability because players discover new factory mechanisms with each game.
