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 bot factory where you work. Maybe if you can exceed even their lofty expectations, you can get a supervisory position and get off the assembly line! It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work in the Bot Factory!
Bot Factory is a worker-placement game where 1-4 players compete to plan, manufacture, assemble, and market toy bots, all while under the watchful gaze of the new factory manager Sandra. It was designed by João Quintela Martins and Vital Lacerda, and inspired by the worker placement mechanics in Kanban EV.
Each copy of Bot Factory comes with over 50 wooden pieces, including silkscreened Bots and Workers:
The game also features a rotating parts wheel to carry the bot parts from their storage bins to the workers.
