Read the full game description

Clockworker is a worker-placement game in which the workers have characteristic movements. More specifically, robots operate the factory and gain resources from the abandoned earth. A factory has multiple worker spaces, and many robots can go to work in the same batch, but it takes time to gain resources. As a result, you need to manage the timing of how the robots return so that you can develop your technology. In the end, the player with the most victory points wins. Clockworker is a revised edition of Planeta Rica, which was released by 4tousei(???) in 2017.
