Piggyback × Factory 2016

Build a factory by hiring specialists, completing jobs, and buying new equipment. Be careful what jobs you finish, though, because everyone can piggyback on your contracts to raise capital for themselves.

Each turn in Piggyback × Factory, players can either add a free specialist to one of their three production lines or take a gamble that their factory can complete an order. If an order does get completed, that production line is reset to zero and all specialists are returned, while the player gets the value of the goods. At that moment, any other player can also piggyback on that order, although earning one fewer good. Players can then spend their money to either get victory points or buy more machines for their factory. At the end of a turn, each player advances all their production lines by one step, preparing more parts to run next turn.

Piggyback × Factory won the 2016 Game Market best game award.
