What is Furnace
Furnace is an engine-building Eurogame in which players take on the roles of 19th-century capitalists building their industrial corporations and aspiring to make as much money as they can by purchasing companies, extracting resources, and processing them in the best combinations possible.
Each player starts the game with a random start-up card, the resources depicted at the top of that card, and four colored discs valued 1-4.
The game is played over four rounds, and each round consists of two phases: Auction and Production. During the auction, 6-8 company cards are laid out with their basic sides face up. Players take turns placing one of their discs on one of these cards, but you cannot place a disc on a card if a disc of the same value or color is already present. Thus, you'll place discs on four cards.
Once all the discs are placed, the cards are resolved from left to right. Whoever placed the highest-valued disc will claim this card, but first anyone with a lower-valued disc on this card will gain compensation, either the resources depicted multiplied by the value of their disc or a processing ability (exchange X for Y) up to as many times as the value of their disc.

What the community says about Furnace
Simple, elegant and fast engine builder with an excellent auction mechanic. The assymetric powers are really unbalanced. The advanced variant where your card row is fixed makes the resource conversion puzzle more interesting and takes away a lot of AP during the production phase, so I wouldn't play the game without it.
For 2 to 4 players, Best 3-4

Excelente juego. Si a esto le sumas la posibilidad de jugarlo solo con los AUTOMA que figuran aquí, es una pasada. Increíble.
Juego de pujas donde solo tiene emoción si juegas con la variante de hacer la producción según vayas cogiendo cartas. Tal como esta el mercado hay muchos mejores, totalmente prescindible.

Se me desinfló muy rápido por desgracia, pensaba que esa fase de pujas iba a ser mucho más interactiva, pero cuesta seguir que le interesa al rival con el numero de cartas que se va cogiendo y luego la fase de producción es un poco rollo cada uno por su lado.
