HOW TO PLAY
Small ideas.
Mountains of gems.
Build with cards. Let your factory do the rest.
Enjoy time to plan and time to watch your creation work.
Watch a production line come to life.
Drag to look around the factory.
Mine → Transport → Process → Store → Ship
A silent demonstration layout. The full game has its own controls and progression.
MORNING / BUILD
Look at your hand.
Imagine tomorrow's factory.
Miners, belts, processors, and workshops. Play cards to acquire equipment and build a production line within your budget.
Time is paused while you build. Move and rotate your machines until you are happy with the layout, then start production.
Cards can do more than add equipment: discover deposits, upgrade machines, or recover a heart when things get tough. Choose your next card to suit your factory.
DAYTIME / PRODUCE
Watch it work.
Enjoy seeing it all come together.
Miners extract raw materials, belts carry them, and processors refine or polish them. As your connected machines get to work, the factory comes alive.
Watching gems gather in stockpiles is part of the pleasure. Set up a route to the shipping point and let your crew handle the deliveries.
If something backs up, revisit it in the next building phase. A smoother flow can mean better sales.
03 — GROWEVENING / AUDIT AND NEXT TARGET
Go beyond gems.
There is always room for more.
Pass the daily audit by shipping enough goods to meet your sales quota. Workshops turn materials into more valuable rings and crowns.
Start with training and work through ten stages with different conditions. Beyond the story, Endless mode lets you keep growing your factory.
An approachable beginning leads to factories that reward careful planning. Later stages introduce tighter time and budget conditions.
SHOP / FACTORY SHOP
Put your earnings
toward your next idea.
Take the coins earned at audits from the assignment room to the factory shop. Visit the shopkeeper to buy new cards and treasures for your collection.
Add purchased cards to your deck before your next run. Improve transport or add more workshops? A growing card collection opens up more ways to build your factory.
TREASURY
Turn your hard work
into a glittering collection.
Piles of coins, gems, ingots, bronze statues, and golden statues. The treasures you buy at the shop gather in your own treasury.
Pick up your treasures, toss them, and watch them tumble. Arrange your favorites and take a break from factory work.
YOUR FIRST DAY
Your first factory, one step at a time.
Apprentice Factory introduces mining, transport, processing, storage, and crafting in turn.
During the initial training, you can retry the same day if you miss the target.
