Crafting mechanic (components, tools, techniques)

Iterating again…

This is a game for 1-4 players.

Components:

1. Instructions.

2. Level Cards – Each set of cards belongs to a specific level, distinguished by a unique image and color. (10 cards per level)

3. Blueprint Cards – Indicate the component and technique requirements for crafting.

4. Component Cards – Represent the pieces needed to assemble items.

5. Tool Cards - Represent the tools needed to assemble the items

6. Technique Cards – Describe procedures or skills required to craft items.

Set up:

1. Separate the Blueprint, Component, Tools, and Technique cards into their respective decks. Shuffle each deck and place them in individual piles, each with its own discard pile.

2. Sort the Level Cards into groups based on their level. Each level contains 24 cards.

3. Assemble the level by arranging the Level Cards face-down to complete the background image. Do not flip them yet.

4. (Optional) Gather any real-world components and tools listed in the instructions if you’d like to craft the item physically IRL.

Gameplay:

1. Start by flipping over the top-left Level Card and reading its story text and/or problem-solving prompt.

2. Follow the card’s instructions, which may involve reading more of the story or drawing a Blueprint Card.

3. Once a Blueprint is completed, the player gains the item for use as specified.

4. The next player flips the next Level Card (moving left to right across the top row, then continuing left to right on the bottom row once the top is done).

5. Players take turns following this process until all cards in the current level have been revealed and resolved, completing the level.

There will be mini-games or side quests.
