Good game! short play, easy to learn, beautifull art, amazing mechanics. Cant wait for the new expantion to be relased!

It’s released now you filthy animal!

@JusticeSeeker19 3 года назад

Sounds like Spyrium, which is an under appreciated game.

@vennienemecek4219 2 года назад

@@user-xo4lg5se3d Spyrium is no more random than other euro games with cards and no more repetitive than other euro games with rounds. It has interesting mechanisms, lots of player interaction, and the production quality is very good. I agree with Bobby - underrated and under appreciated.

@txsportsfreak02 3 года назад

This is my style of game. I have to try res arcana now.

@DarthEd77 3 года назад

I’m originally from the Pittsburgh area, and it would appear that this game is themed around the steel industry circa 1900. It looks like at least some of the people cards are real historical people. I recognized Henry Clay Frick on one of them, and the cover appears to have Andrew Carnegie’s profile. I also recognize some of the building cards as historical steel and coke plants from around Pittsburgh. But you wouldn’t know any of that because the cards don’t have the names of the people or buildings on them. Euro game publishers often do this. They hide the theme instead of embracing it. I wish they would have put the names of people and buildings on the cards.

@MrMyerto 3 года назад

Hobby world think about it, but decided not to help you better engage with game and make it easier for people worldwide as all characters and most locations are based on real world Russian Empire ones.

@jaslygod 2 года назад

I totally agree here. I'd love to see some dates and historic info on the cards like Wingspan have interesting facts about each bird. Furnace is fun mechanically but the game seems themeless, as if you are just running some cubes and flipping some cards. Sad to know it was a publisher's decision.

@meathir4921 Год назад

@@jaslygodI mean glorifying this era of rich assholes isn’t exactly something I’d want to happen. Personally the art sells the theme well.

@MystiqWisdom 3 года назад

From the way he Wasaga talking, and the approved at the end, sounds like an 8/10

@alecgalbraith5604 3 года назад

I’m curious how the auction would work in a 2 player game. Are the amount of cards to bid on dependent on player count?

@redeyedghost1406 3 года назад

There's a dummy player where you roll a die, and place their lowest numbered disc on the card relating to the number rolled (moving to the right if one of the placement rules were to be broken).

@alecgalbraith5604 3 года назад

@@redeyedghost1406 That’s a good 2 player adjustment. Thanks for the response!

@conillet 2 года назад

The graphics of this game are most impressive; I might get it for that alone.

@hyvll Год назад

And the back is mostly the same art, but with smoke and hints showing the upgraded plant. Very subtil détails.

@tryhardmyass 2 года назад

feels a bit like res arcana, am I right?

@MisterAbysmul 3 года назад

Take my money!!!

@modemacabre 3 года назад

Although the mechanisms are quite different, this sounds like it would fall into the same category of weight/length and overall feel as "It's a Wonderful World." Both games apparently pack a lot of *thinky* gameplay into a filler length game. And based on my love of IaWW I need to check this one out sometime.

@kissgg666 3 года назад

I am also a fan of IaWW and the big question after watching this is: why would I get this game if I own IaWW? Would I ever choose this to play over that one? What do you think?

@modemacabre 3 года назад

@@kissgg666 not sure. I want to play before buying this one. To be honest, as much as I prefer heavier, longer games this length game is the easiest to get to the table with my regular group. If it feels different enough I would still get it.

@michaelcavalry8379 Год назад

@@kissgg666 I know this comment is old, but I have both and enjoy both for different feels. They are not exactly the same game, but similar enough that if you enjoy one, you'll most likely enjoy the other one as well.

@gregsaldi1292 3 года назад

all i see is a price point on the Spiel website.

@redeyedghost1406 3 года назад

From BGG it sounds like they're still looking for publishers, are not planning on kickstarting it themselves. But if the selected publisher wants to kickstart it for their particular region then that could happen. www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/2500872/very-interested Seems like they're being sneaky about dropping review copies of polished prototypes. Between this and Rahdo's rundown I'm sure it will get picked up soon.

@revimfadli4666 2 года назад

Sounds like a more accessible(yet still meaty) Keyflower, definitely intrigued

In all honesty, Res Arcana really seems like a much better and more varied alternative.

@CoUNtryForEva 3 года назад

how does this compare to fantastic factories

@RandomPerson-nd2ey 3 года назад

So... this or Res Arcana? Please like the comment if someone answers so I get a notification. Thanks!

@michaelnewsome1248 3 года назад

Totally different games. I have Res Arcana and this one looks good tor as well.

@cartergreen2309 3 года назад

I haven't played this but it looks very similar to res and I love res. I wouldn't get this if you have res because it looks too similar but if you have neither id say go with whatever theme you like more. Or if you like auctions a lot then this

@cartergreen2309 3 года назад

I would choose res personally. Like I said though game looks good I just don't need another game that hits the same spot

@michaelnewsome1248 3 года назад

It also depends on your gaming group. I found that the fantasy theme of Res Arcana was either too much or too little for certain groups I played with. Furnace looks like a simple trade stuff to get more stuff package so if your group would like that sort of thing, I would recommend Furnace.
