Sprocketforge

About this board game

Sprocketforge is a 2025 board game for 1–5 players, with a play time of about 90 minutes, in which artificers build factories from enchanted gears.

Players add, upgrade, and swap gears in their factories to create an efficient system. These machines produce mana, while completing orders earns the renown needed to prevail.

Mana is useful, but it is also messy. As it accumulates, it clogs the vents in your factory, forcing players to balance earning points with keeping their machine clean.

• Add, upgrade, and swap enchanted gears.
• Produce mana through your factory system.
• Complete orders to earn renown.
• Manage clogged vents and maintain a clean machine.

The noble houses of Sprocketforge offer another path to greater rewards. They favor the factories with the cleanest systems, granting additional points and actions as players compete for their approval.

Every decision contributes to the balance between production, orders, renown, and cleanliness. Building an efficient system is not only about generating more mana; it also means managing the problems that mana creates inside your factory.

As the game progresses, players vie for favor while refining their gear arrangements and pursuing orders. The factory that best handles these competing demands can rise above the others.

When the game ends, the player with the most renown wins. With its focus on enchanted gears, factory construction, mana management, and noble-house favor, Sprocketforge challenges players to create a productive system without letting it become overwhelmed by its own output.
