About the game

What you do in a play session

In City of Gears, you're a steampunk engineering master, racing to revive an abandoned metropolis of gears and steam. Each game is a race against time and opponents, where you use dice to power your factory, deploy automaton workers, and vie for control over the city's ruins. With a modular board that changes every game, no two sessions are alike. You can sabotage rivals, activate unique steam powers, and gather prestige to emerge victorious on Opening Day. Do you have what it takes to set the City of Gears in motion?
