What is Fantastic Factories
It's a manufacturing arms race! Compete against other players as you try to build the most efficient set of factories in the shortest time. You must carefully manage your blueprints, train your workers, and manufacture as many goods as possible in order to achieve industrial dominance!
In Fantastic Factories, you race to manufacture the most goods or build the most prestigious buildings. There are elements of dice rolling, worker placement, engine building, resource management, tableau building, simultaneous play, and some card drafting. Each round is split into two phases, the market phase and the work phase.
During the market phase, you choose to either acquire a new blueprint for free or pay to hire a contractor. Blueprints are used to construct new factories during the work phase. Contractors can be used to reinforce your strategy by providing resources or allowing you to roll additional dice. You need to be mindful of what cards are available in the marketplace and the strategies your opponents may be pursuing.
During the work phase, all players simultaneously roll their dice and use their dice as workers to run factories. Factories start as blueprints and need to be constructed. Once constructed, each factory can be used once each turn. Worker placement can happen in any order and figuring out the correct sequence 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 worker placement puzzle in order to optimize your output of resources and goods.

What the community says about Fantastic Factories
Awesome engine building game. Quick to play and understand, but with enough strategy to really push your engine to be as efficient as you can. Recommend buying the playmat to streamline the set up time. Also, play the work phase simultaneously, if you go by turns, the game is going to drag... a lot. Plus, the simultaneously means that, no matter the player count, the game is going to last roughly the same.
Distraído, sin más
Juego de trabajadados y combos. Bonito, divertido y escala genial a cualquier número de jugadores. El es objetivo de crear tu motor de recursos y saber aprovechar las sinergias de tus edificios sin olvidar a los contratistas y está bien implementado. El modo solitario funciona muy bien, simple pero aprieta de lo lindo. En definitiva muy buen juego, sería mi primera opción para sacar a mesa a alguien que quiera dar un pasito más en el mundo de los juegos de mesa.
