What is Shipyard
We’re in 19th century, sea transport is more and more important. Both corporations and naval forces require newer and newer ships. Try to put yourself in the role of their manufacturers. Hire employees, buy accessories, get favour of evaluating committees. Don’t forget to rent a canal and you can heave anchor.
Players take turns, beginning with a randomly selected player and continuing around the table clockwise. On their turn, they will choose one of the available actions from the Action Track. The action will get the player something they need to help build their ships. On the player's next turn, they will move that Action Card ahead of all the others and choose a different action.
If a player completes a ship on their turn (ships consists of little cards depicting bows, sterns, and (preferably several) middle pieces with several options to add equipment or crew), it is taken out for a shakedown cruise in a canal, during which they may score points for speed, crew, equipment, or safety.
As players take their turns, the line of Action Cards will advance around the Action Track. When the lead Action Card reaches the Starting Space again, the countdown marker moves down one space, and play continues.

What the community says about Shipyard
Juego de construcción de barcos. La temática puede resultar un poco árida y poco atractiva, pero encierra un juego estupendo. Me encanta especialmente el rondel de elección de acciones, con losetas que se van desplazando. Se trata de diseñar barcos e ir equipándolos para que luego sean valorados mientras navegan en distintos canales. Muy elegante y las mecánicas muy bien enlazadas unas con otras. Es un juego para jugones. Aunque no tiene reglas complicadas, explicarselo a un no acostumbrado puede apabullar un poco, por la cantidad de opciones que tiene. En ningún momento te quedas sin opcione

Uno de los juegos mas complejos y sesudos que hemos jugado. Nuestra primera partida nos llevo una tarde y sera dificil juntar a gente de un nivel jugon como para poderlo sacar a mesa, pero se intentara. Hay una carta desequilibrante a la que hay que hacer una Homerule, pero YA!
