In the 17th and 18th centuries, merchantmen sailing under the English flag dominated the seas and international trade. The Navigation Acts restricted foreign ships from partaking in the trade between England and her colonies.

 

Richard Arkwright was one of the English inventors and businessmen who developed the first advanced machines (e.g. the Spinning Jenny and the Water Frame) and founded early factories. The goods produced in this manner were highly regarded in both the old country and by the Englishmen living in the colonies.

Steve Jackson Games Announces Two More Munchkin Guest Artist Editions!

AUSTIN, Texas (October 5, 2015) – Steve Jackson Games’ classic monster-bashing card game Munchkin was released in July 2001. Since then, it’s sold millions of games, expansions, comics, and toys.

Steve Jackson Games has already announced three Guest Artist Editions – Munchkin illustrated by Ian McGinty, Star Munchkin illustrated by Len Peralta, and Munchkin Fu illustrated by John Kovalic – and now we’re ready to announce two more:

·       In June, a new version of Munchkin Cthulhu will crawl out of the depths, illustrated in adorable fashion by Katie Cook.

·       In August, Super Munchkin swoops into stores, illustrated by comic artist Art Baltazar.

“The Guest Artist Editions are new takes on top Munchkin titles, drawn by some of our favorite industry artists!” notes Sam Mitschke, COO of Steve Jackson Games.

In Automania, you run a car factory, trying to produce the most popular cars in the market. To achieve this, you buy tiles to upgrade and customize your factory, and hire specialist employees to help you.

 

Central to the game are the factory boards: each player has a factory with three assembly lines, and each assembly line produces one type of car. You can put machine tiles along your assembly lines to change the specifications of your cars. However, your three assembly lines intersect, so each machine tile placed might affect more than one type of car – which means you have to think carefully about where you put those machines.

 

When a car is produced, it must be sold in one of two markets, and the better the specifications of the car is in line with the demand in the chosen market, the more popular the car will be. The most popular cars reap the highest profits, earning money or prestige – which is what you need to win this game.
