Factory 42 is a bustling hub of Dwarven innovation, where diligent Odrixian laborers work hard for the betterment of society. The Overseer frequently shouts, "More materials are needed for today's orders! We need to improve! The Motherland needs our best!" This prompts a worker, Isabella, to rush to the office under the watchful eye of the Commissar to fill out an acquisition order. As she starts to write, she happens to glance at the top of the page and sees the workers who will have to fulfill this order. It's the workers at Mine 77. Isabella chuckles at the thought of them struggling with this demand, remembering her former experiences working in the mine. She recalls the vast complex of underground fields, caves, and caverns drilled through the city's bowels and the long weary days spent toiling there. In Mine 77, workers work four days in two shifts, with only a brief on-site rest to break the tedium. Fortunately, she is now too old to be sent back to the mine. Age has its perks. Mine 77 is a prequel game to Factory 42 that simulates the inner workings of Odrixia's largest mine. It is here that the valuable resources are gathered for the Factory. As you play the game, you will experience the hard work, cunning, and outright shenanigans required to become a successful Overseer at Mine 77. Mine 77 is a resource management, worker placement game played on two rondels representing the above ground administration and the below ground grind of the actual mine. Players compete to become the most productive Overseer, simultaneously playing their hand of work order cards to plan out their workers' activities for moving around the board and taking actions to mine, farm, ship goods or a number of other possibilities. There is also a deck building element for improving your work order options. The game comes with two solo NPC Overseers which may also be used as an additional opponent in 2 player games. The game can end in one of two ways: - End of the Week: The most usual way for the game to end is after the Third or Fourth Night Shift. - Disaster: If, at any point, a player's current Victory Points falls to -10 on the chart, the game ends instantly and proceeds directly to Final Scoring.
