Board Game Review - Mechanica - First Play Thoughts

Description provided by The Board & Barrel on YouTube:

Guest Shea Parker (@rtfm) joined us on for our second play and his first of the engine building board game Mechanica from indie publisher Resonym. The gimmick of incorporating the box into the game makes for some great table presence, and the puzzle-y element of building your factory is a lot of fun, but the key to victory seems to lie in the blueprints, which feel a bit random, and the game definitely feels like it would be better with a lower player count.
