Fantastic Factories Game

All it takes to make a factory fantastic, is to use special resources, blueprint cards, contractors and have enthusiastic workers! What makes this game fantastic is the fun that players as well as their families and friends have in competition to build the best combination of factories. Players will activate them in an effort to produce more resources, collect points and finish their factory compounds with the highest score.

In the market phase, each player either chooses a blueprint card or hires a contractor to give them resources or benefits. The work phase begins as players pick up their dice and roll them. Depending on the numbers rolled, they can obtain additional blueprints, goods, metal and energy resources and then pay the costs to build as many of their factories as possible.

Once factories are built, many of them have activations that specify resources or dice that players are able to use in future rounds to trade for or earn additional resources. Some factories are worth points at the end of the game and others generate goods, which count as points at the end of the game. Once any player has either 12 goods or 10 factories in their play area, the game end triggers. Players then add the value of goods and building points and the person with the most points wins. This game has become a regular in our family’s game rotation because it is light, easy, fun and fantastic. Advance planning and resource management skills help propel players to optimum scoring and victory! For 1-5 players with a 45 to 60-minute game time. ~Marsha
