Read the full game description

A fast-paced Industrial-Revolution-themed card game. Cards represent different kinds of actions in a factory. Players try to collect cards of their action type while using cards to change the pool of available cards. When it's your turn, you can play cards from your hand to modify the state of the factory in many ways: moving cards onto the factory floor, tossing cards into the scrap heap, "borrowing" cards from your opponents, etc. When you have cards you want to keep, you can ship them to your customers. At the end of the game, your score is based on the value of the cards that you've shipped.
