Description
Scrapyard Empire is a strategic hand management card game that is centered around collecting parts and small machines in order to complete the greatest inventions ever known to man. Players can dig through the scrapyard, steal from opponents, trade, or draw at random from the decks to achieve their goal. In this 1-4 player game, players must rely on strategy, memory, and a little bit of luck to beat opponents, or the deck, by creating their inventions first. The solitaire version runs a speedy 10-15 minutes, while a group game runs between 30-60 minutes. In order to win a player must be the first to build 2-3 inventions, which are each constructed from 3 required small machines. These small machines have special abilities which can be activated to give players a 1 time use advantage, such as being able to steal back a stolen part or small machine. In group games each player also has a character given to them at random. These characters all have 1 unique special ability that helps give them an edge in the game. All of these factors make Scrapyard Empire a fun game with a ton of replay value, and endless expansion possibilities for the future.
