Motor City

Players manage an auto plant during the heyday of Detroit, advancing engineering, assembly, testing, and other departments across two player sheets. Progress is tracked by marking interconnected tracks and scoring bonuses or unlocking further advances as tracks fill. The game runs eight rounds. Each round, colored dice are rolled and placed on a blueprint table by color and value; players draft dice, apply the die to their sheets, and after two draft picks each everyone uses the remaining blueprint die. After eight rounds, players total points from advances and bonuses to determine the winner. A solo mode pits the player against an auditor that drafts dice and blocks sheet areas; difficulty is adjusted by changing die colors at setup.
