Factory 42 is a Euro-style board game for 2-5 players. The game tells the story of the workweek of Marxist dwarves in a steampunk industrial setting, placing the player in the role of factory Overseers. It combines worker placement and a cube tower to create a resource management puzzle. Factory 42 is a cutthroat competitive game with elements of co-operation and deals involving Economics, Fantasy, Industry and Negotiation with a pinch of satire, but not too much to make it a Humor game. It satisfyingly blends two-fold tensions: camaraderie forged in shared goals, and the opportunistic trampling of temporary competition. A tight game of glancing blows and communal glory creating a wicked blend of sharp elbows and shared ambition. Visually, Factory 42 takes its influence from 1920's Soviet Union propaganda, fantasy literature and elements of pre-WWI Prussian decor.
The For the Greater Good Edition will contain following improvements:
• Gameboard and playmats have been made slightly lighter to increase contrast
• All printed materials will have new symbols.
• The punchboards are slightly thicker and thus more durable
• The extra punchsheet is made larger, which means spare components
• The Black Market mini add-on will be in every box
• Resource sheet is upgraded to dual-layer-board. It makes resource management easier.
• A quick reference sheet - essentially a one page summary of all rules is included in every box
• Cube tray for easy pick-up of cubes
• A few new cards have been added (new card total is 108)
• We improved some wooden component colors
• And lastly, we of course did fix the few typos our players were able to point out.

Excellent thematics
Cute mechanics that will probably work better at higher player counts. Limited resources, the rulebook says expect +/- 3 cubes... I received +7 cubes +11 counters. Tower assembly confused me... turned out part of the diagram was reversed. No diagram for (late addition?) cube scoop, but there are assembly videos available. Thought I was missing the tiny wood Steam Marker, Contents had it the (4x) size of the Private Steam tokens and it is only printed on one side.
