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

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

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.
