Machina (2002)

About this game

Each player tries to collect all the pieces needed to build his goal machine (hidden from others) while avoiding pieces that will stop their machine from working. You can add pieces to your machine from your warehouse, try to steal the pieces from your opponents, or use one of the special cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 11 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
