Very fun dice driven tableau engine builder. I like that you actually get to make use of the engine you are building from the start. May be a bit too heads down for many without Subterfuge

Description
It's a manufacturing arms race! Compete against other players as you try to build the most efficient set of factories in the shortest time. You must carefully manage your blueprints, train your workers, and manufacture as many goods as possible in order to achieve industrial dominance! In Fantastic Factories, you race to manufacture the most goods or build the most prestigious buildings. There are elements of dice rolling, worker placement, engine building, resource management, tableau building, simultaneous play, and some card drafting. Each round is split into two phases, the market phase and the work phase. During the market phase, you choose to either acquire a new blueprint for free or pay to hire a contractor. Blueprints are used to construct new factories during the work phase. Contractors can be used to reinforce your strategy by providing resources or allowing you to roll additional dice. You need to be mindful of what cards are available in the marketplace and the strategies your opponents may be pursuing. During the work phase, all players simultaneously roll their dice and use their dice as workers to run factories. Factories start as blueprints and need to be constructed. Once constructed, each factory can be used once each turn. Worker placement can happen in any order and figuring out the correct sequence can enable a powerful chain of actions. Additionally, you can build training facilities that allow you to manipulate the dice values of your workers. Each work phase is like solving a unique worker placement puzzle in order to optimize your output of resources and goods. Once any player has manufactured 12 goods or constructed 10 buildings, the game end is triggered and one additional and final round is played. The player with the most points wins (combination of building prestige and manufactured goods). With over 30 unique blueprints and countless synergies across buildings, each game is unique. Fantastic Factories offers a lot of replay value and satisfaction as players discover new factory engines with each game. —description from the publisher A large collection of solo puzzles have also been created for Fantastic Factories along with official tools to create more. This puzzle collection can be found in the BGG Play-By-Forum area.

I love this game. I'm a mostly solo player and Fantastic factories has a Fantastic solo mode. I love the combo creation, dice rolling for some randomness but if you have a bit of strategy you can almost always turn the dice to your advantage in some way. Plus the game is easy to learn and play despite a good depth of thinking available to find the best action in each circumstance, planning ahead, etc.

Pris en premier pour jouer en solo. Règles simples et jeu rapide à mettre en place (~3 minutes) et durée comme annoncée ~45 minutes (sauf la première partie de découverte) L'adversaire solo : "La machine" est simplissime à gérer et suffisamment compétitif pour s'amuser. Le mélange de genre marche super bien : construction de moteur, enchainement d'actions (combo), placement d'ouvriers (les dés). Après en multi, c'est un jeu sans interaction car chacun fait son moteur dans son coin, mais tout le monde prend plaisir à y jouer. Pour la direction artistique, on aimera ou pas mais ça à le mérite de ne pas laisser indifférent : perso j'adore

A weird twist on what has become my favorite incredibly specific subgenre. Always involves at least 2 of these Worker Placement/Resource Gathering/deck building. Similar to everdell but worker placement is only on the cards you've placed, in a way i think is better than everdell. Much less interaction with other people though. Also the worker cards are rarely used. I've played this game about 15 times and someone has taken those cards maybe 20 times total. To the point that I might just sort through them so only really good ones remain and they're used more. Also added a 6th player board and generic white dice.

Fantastiques Fabriques est un excellent jeu de pose d’ouvrier et de moteur de ressources avec une petit course. Le design, qui pourrait déplaire, m’a bien séduit, il est épuré, clair et coloré. Un brin casse tête, Fantastique Fabriques vous fera réfléchir, anticiper, calculer; votre cerveau ne restera pas au repos lors d’une partie. Les deux extensions sont indispensables, ne rajoutent pas de complexité au niveau des règles, mais rajoutent de l’asymétrie, de l’interaction, du contrôle du hasard qui manquait avec la boite de base. Fantastiques Fabriques est un très très bon jeu, que vous devriez essayer ! https://undecent.fr/2021/12/06/fantastiques-fabriques/
