Kanban: Driver's Edition
"Kanban" — or 看板, the Japanese word for billboard — is a term for the visual cues that might be used in a lean, efficient assembly line in order to expedite and smooth workflow. These signals get the workers what they need, where they need it, when they need it to create a just-in-time (JIT) production system.
What is Kanban: Driver's Edition
"Kanban" — or 看板, the Japanese word for billboard — is a term for the visual cues that might be used in a lean, efficient assembly line in order to expedite and smooth workflow. These signals get the workers what they need, where they need it, when they need it to create a just-in-time (JIT) production system.
The setting for the game Kanban: Automotive Revolution is an assembly line. The players are ambitious managers who are trying to impress the board of directors in order to achieve as high a position as possible in the company and secure their careers. With promotions come advantages at the factory, such as more space to store precious materials and greater prestige to accelerate your ascent. Through solid management, you must strive to shine next to your peers. You need to manage suppliers and supplies, improve automobile parts, innovate — anything to stay on the cutting edge, or getting your hands greasy on the assembly line in order to boost production. You must exercise wisdom in choosing which projects you should start, selecting only those that will give you the upper hand and shunning those that will bog you down or cause the unthinkable — failure — which would diminish you in the eyes of the board.
Over the course of the game, you persuade the board and the factory tender to help you develop and improve automobile parts. You make shrewd use of the outside suppliers and the limited factory supplies in order to appropriate needed part when the suppliers come up short. Because the factory must run at optimum efficiency, production doesn't wait for you or for mistakes.
Like the process itself, Kanban: Automotive Revolution proves to be both innovative and rewarding. Game mechanisms tightly tied to the automobile manufacturing theme include:

Comprado a Yamakasi en Ucieda, un día que quedamos para jugar un lisboa, por 25€. Es un juego de colocación de *UN TRABAJADOR*. Simula el proceso de fabricación de un coche. Es bastante sesudo.
An unnecesary complex game, fun theme but meh on rule writing and execution.
tal como l esperaba, otro genial juego de Vital Lacerda , muy complejo y sencillo a la vez, con mucha toma de decisiones, eso sí el reglamento no es muy claro en algunos aspectos, sobre todo en la puntuación final. Que buen juego.
This heavy eurogame is a complete puzzle of multiple option. You will have to rack your brain in order to try to obtain points and to accomplish other goals. We are in a car factory, which is divided in several department. Each department offers a limited number of options, which can be blocked if the player before you chooses it: The key of this game is the order of the player, which can change in every turn. This game reproduces a real car factory where actions such as producing cars, testing them, upgrading cars, ordering logistic pieces or even to achieve certifications. Everythig belongs
Vital never dissapoints.
Pillado con Javier. Aún por estrenar. Mi primer Lacerda.
Duro de optimizar, una gozada jugarlo. Disfrutable a tope, un imprescindible.
