Fantastic Factories: Faction Pack 1

About this expansion

Fantastic Factories: Faction Pack 1 is a two-card promo pack for 1–5 players, with a listed play time of 60 minutes. Released in 2021, it was part of the Fantastic Factories: Manufactions Kickstarter and can be added directly to the Manufactions expansion.

This compact faction pack introduces two different corporate identities. Metafactory Industries focuses on flexibility: its faction power can copy the powers of other factions, creating a direct connection between this promo card and the wider faction system.

BIG Pharma takes a different approach, rewarding the use of vitamins in a major way. With this faction, vitamins can change the value of a die by 2 instead of only changing it by 1, making them especially important to the faction’s approach.

BIG Pharma also presents a distinctive starting challenge. You do not begin the game with a way to gain vitamins, but the faction compensates by letting you see 9 blueprint cards and giving you 3 vitamins at the start of the game.

• Metafactory Industries: Copy the powers of other factions.
• BIG Pharma: Use vitamins to change a die value by 2.
• Starting setup: See 9 blueprint cards and receive 3 vitamins for BIG Pharma.

Whether you want the adaptable identity of Metafactory Industries or the vitamin-focused direction of BIG Pharma, Fantastic Factories: Faction Pack 1 adds two focused options to Manufactions. It is a small promotional addition with clearly differentiated faction powers.
