The Second World War is raging, and your industrial output is needed for the war effort. In Victory through Industry, you'll build a factory complex capable of manufacturing the products needed by our boys at the front, everything from battleships to canned food. Over the course of the game, players build a network of factories that consume certain products as their inputs and produce others as their outputs. Players compete to win government contracts to be the exclusive supplier of particular products. On your turn, you can consume products to build factories, use factories to produce different products, or pick up government contracts. Once you have a contract, you'll need to keep producing that product every few turns, or else you lose the contract and someone else can claim it.
