Clockworker (2020)

About this game

Clockworker is a worker-placement game in which the workers have characteristic movements. More specifically, robots operate the factory and gain resources from the abandoned earth. A factory has multiple worker spaces, and many robots can go to work in the same batch, but it takes time to gain resources. As a result, you need to manage the timing of how the robots return so that you can develop your technology. In the end, the player with the most victory points wins. Clockworker is a revised edition of Planeta Rica, which was released by 4tousei(四等星) in 2017.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
