{"product_id":"rockwell","title":"Rockwell","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rockwell company wants to develop drilling activities, but does not have the necessary teams in-house. Rockwell has decided to buy into specialized companies. In order to determine which one it will put on the most advanced and most profitable projects in the future, Rockwell has elected to make them work together on a single important project: drilling through the depths of the earth’s crust to the core. The company who demonstrates the greatest expertise in the technical and financial management of this contract will ensure a bright future with Rockwell.\n\n\nGoal of the Game...\n\nAcquire the most Renown points at the end of the game. There are three ways to achieve this:\n\n\n     accomplish achievements (nine in total),\n     make investments,\n     get majorities after the game.\n\n\nGameplay...\nAcquire more prestige than your opponents by the end of the game. The prestige is acquired through Production and Delivery tiles, as well as in the final scoring, which will award prestige points for different majorities.\nThe game is divided into three phases that are repeated as many times as necessary until one of two conditions endgame is met:\na majority of the players have reached the center of the earth with a drill crew\na player has completed the nine Achievements.\nThen the current round is completed before determining the winner.\nEach player has two vice presidents he will deploy to act in Phase 1, 2, or 3, in order to perform actions. The order in which the players’ vice presidents are deployed is determined by a closed-fist auction.\nThis is the main phase. Players will move their drill crews are at a rate of one per round (there are four rounds before Phase 2). Depending on the position of your vice president, if you deployed him to act in this phase, you can corrupt opposing drill crews (in order to attract them to the same tile as your active drill crew) or hire a subcontractor (to increase your drilling power).\nEach tile of the earth's crust has a value indicating its resistance to drilling. If the sum of the drill crews who are present equals or exceeds this value, the tile is excavated and turned over; then draw an Extraction card to see what resources you discovered, which is evenly split between the players who participated in the drilling. The indivisible remainder goes to one of those players (prioritized by whoever has a mine on the tile, then the player who has the greater drilling power, then the one who ttriggered the drilling).\nFinally, after the four rounds, the mines laid on drilled tiles provide the resources printed on the back of the tile.\nPlayers with a vice president here can perform market transactions, which is to say that they can buy or sell resources.\nIn this phase, players can make investments to get renown points and improve their drilling conditions in different ways…\naugment the drill crews’ power (maximum = 4),\nplace mines in the game \u2028(maximum three mines),\nimprove mine safety (in order to avoid wasting resources at extraction time),\nimprove the movement of drill crews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.20 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bruno Crépeault\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sit Down!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51909481758936,"sku":"SB-86E7D5A7CBEC-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/dl3ut6daym7vngoatbv1bluwrd7k.jpg?v=1785462187","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/rockwell","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
