Description provided by Bottom Drawer on YouTube:

Welcome to Craftoria! In this gameplay video, you'll see how a guild of skilled Craftsmen grows from a humble workshop into a thriving center of industry and prestige. Follow along as players recruit Masters, optimize their Workshops, fulfill valuable Orders, and compete to become the next Archmaster Craftsman. Whether you're learning the game for the first time or looking to sharpen your strategy, sit back and enjoy the playthrough! Craftoria is a strategic card game for 2–4 players where you take the role of a guild leader managing a network of specialized Workshops. Each turn, you'll assign Craftsmen to Workshops to activate powerful actions. Draw new Craftsmen, recruit Master Craftsmen, reposition your workforce, reserve valuable cards, and optimize your engine as your Workshops grow more efficient. The game combines engine building, hand management, and tactical card movement in a unique system where completing Orders causes Craftsmen to shift between Workshops, creating new combinations and challenging players to constantly adapt their strategy. Easy to learn yet rich in meaningful decisions, Craftoria offers a satisfying puzzle of planning, efficiency, and strategic timing as players compete to become the next Archmaster Craftsman.
