Factory 42 is a Euro-style board game for 2-5 players. The game tells the story of the workweek of Marxistic dwarves in a steampunk industrial setting, placing the player in the role of factory Overseers. It combines worker placement and a cube tower to create a resource management puzzle. Factory 42 is a cutthroat competitive game with elements of co-operation and deals involving Economics, Fantasy, Industry and Negotiation with a pinch of satire, but not too much to make it a Humor game. It satisfyingly blends two-fold tensions: camaraderie forged in shared goals, and the opportunistic trampling of temporary competition. A tight game of glancing blows and communal glory creating a wicked blend of sharp elbows and shared ambition. Visually, Factory 42 takes its influence from 1920's Soviet Union propaganda, fantasy literature and elements of pre-WWI Prussian decor.

The general process control at Factory 42 is as follows:
1. Receive work orders/requisitions from the government
2. Receive some of the requisitioned resources (as determined by the cube tower)
3. Load resources (and spike additional resources) onto railcars
4. Transfer the railcars to docks at individual manufacturing facilities
5. Burn leftover resources to generate steam
6. Trade resources on the open market
7. Use steam and resources to manufacture requested items.

- Capricious Bureaucracy: Resources made available to all players, making up a common pool, are delivered via the Bureaucracy Tower; a mechanic that can deliver or withhold resources in a random manner. This replicates the notion that "the powers that be" redirect funds/resources by tying them up in red tape, trapping resources that would otherwise normally be available for the general populace. What goes into the tower does not always come out, or may have been held up during some unknown bureaucratic process, to later materialize when least expected
- Requisition: Tactical decisions start with the acquisition of resources vital to the production process. The order of worker meeples on the requisition line dictates the volume of resources acquired for the common pool (available to all) and the number that can be obtained and stored in a player's personal warehouse. Choices made here can benefit a player's future actions but may also unwittingly aid a rival, making each choice so very important.
- Loading: Players can tactically direct their workers to the loading bays where resources are loaded onto lines of rail transport. Order here can be extremely vital to one's success. Misjudging the order (or cunningly foreseeing the future) may lead a player to have to load a cart for a rival rather than for one's self. Alliances may be made during this process, just as enemies can be made of rivals, depending on choices made when loading
- Shipping and Storage: Once loaded, each rail cart proceeds to the shipping location awaiting direction. Workers have the option of forwarding on the loaded carts to player's docks. Once more order of placement is paramount as carts are only shipped in order. A cart may not contain useful resources and so could be sent to a rival, taking up valuable storage space, or maybe it will benefit a rival in an attempt to build a verbally agreed alliance. Often a cart has been loaded with a wide variety of resources and only part of this precious load is of use. Limited storage space in player's personal docks and warehouses dictates the shipping decision-making process as much as a rival's needs
- Trade and Research: Commodities may be traded on an ever changing market, often enabling an unnecessary resource to be exchanged at a price, for something of more use. Research is equally important, allowing players to expand storage facilities, improve material handling in the manufacturing process or even learn how to use Invention cards to add special actions/abilities during play
- Manufacture and Accounting: The government dictate what should... no, what must be manufactured during a game round. The government orders must be completed or many, sometimes all players suffer sanctions. A degree of cooperation is needed here for the greater good of Dwarven society, but on an individual level, completion of a government order leads to reward and ultimately progression on the path to victory

Cute Idea, But Fit Didn’t Work for Me
Size: Medium, Color: Coffee
The material was nice but also a little different than expected. It’s soft, just not quite the level of softness I was hoping for. I do think it’s worth the price overall, but it’s not something I would personally wear 24/7. I ended up returning it because the fit just wasn’t quite right for me. It was very loose up top but really tight around the bottom, which made the cut a little off for my body type.

Postpartum Certified!! :)
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I am currently a breast feeding mother who is only 5 weeks post partum. Heading into the summer I needed clothes that fit my changing body and gave me a little confidence that I’ve been lacking recently. This dress has completely done it!! The material is extremely comfortable and not too tight on my body. It’s long enough to give me the coverage that I’m comfortable with but still makes me feel cute. Without knowing how to shop for or what size my body is at after birth, I listened to the comments and got a medium when I was thinking I might be a large and it fits great! Definitely size down though! I will be getting more!!!

Comfortable, durable, and cute — perfect everyday shoes for kids
Size: 2 Big Kid, Color: Pink Milk
I purchased these Crocs Unisex Classic Clogs in Pink Milk for my daughter and they were a perfect choice. The color was a beautiful soft pink and exactly as pictured. They were incredibly easy for her to put on and take off by herself, which was a huge plus. The lightweight material and comfortable footbed made them her go-to shoes for both indoor and outdoor play. They were durable, easy to clean, and the sizing was accurate. We have bought several pairs of Crocs over the years and these maintained the same high quality. I was very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy them again.

Toddler boy loves them!!
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Purple, Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Purple
My toddler boy absolutely loves the color purple and he squealed with delight when he got these from the Easter bunny. They are true to size and he says they are very comfortable to wear. Easy for him to slip on by himself. He decorated them with sea animals and they are his favorite shoes to wear every day! They’ve held up great over the last month so far. Photo included of his favorite way to wear them (on the wrong feet lol). Will definitely purchase another purple pair when these get too small.
