Bot Factory EN

Players: 1 - 4
Ages: 14+
Time: 30 - 60 min

You thought it was going to be just another day at work in the toy factory, but no: The corporate executives learned about the Kanban methodology at a seminar. Convinced of its efficiency, they have reworked the entire production floor to take advantage of the benefits of Kanban. They even brought in the manager from the local EV car plant, Sandra, as a consultant!
Now you must try to impress them all by becoming even more productive in the toy factory where you work. Maybe if you can convince them that you are gung-ho for this new approach by exceeding even their lofty expectations, you can get a supervisory position and get off the assembly line!

Your goal in Bot Factory is to gather projects and parts, then assemble bots, thereby fulfilling demand goals and improving the value of the bot you are making. Sandra, the factory manager from Kanban, is present here, moving to different departments and using the players' spaces. The game uses the same worker-placement mechanism from Kanban in which turn order is established by the workers' positions on the board.
