Factory 42 is a Euro style board game for 2-5 players. The game tells the story of the work week of Marxist midgets in a steampunk industrial setting and puts the player in the role of a factory supervisor. It combines worker placement and a dice tower to create a resource management puzzle. Factory 42 is a grueling competitive game with co-op elements and deals that involve business, fantasy, industry and negotiation, with a dash of satire but not too much to make it a game of humour. It satisfactorily combines two tensions: camaraderie forged in shared goals and the opportunistic trampling of temporary competition. A tight game of grazing and shared glory that creates a wicked mix of sharp elbows and shared ambition. Visually, Factory 42 draws its influence from 1920s Soviet Union propaganda, fantasy literature and elements of pre-WW1 Prussian decor.
The general process control in Factory 42 is as follows:
- Receive government work orders/requirements
- Obtain some of the requested resources (as determined by the Dice Tower)
- Load resources (and additional resources) onto railroad cars
- Transport the wagons to the docks of each production facility
- Burn leftover resources to generate steam
- Trading resources on the open market
- Use steam and resources to craft requested items.
