About the game
What you do in a play session
You know that special touch that turns a good game into something epic? The Fantastic Factories Promo Pack 1 is exactly that. This small pack brings exclusive cards originally created for Kickstarter backers, designed to add that extra 'spice' to your industrial dice production. If you already enjoy the dynamics of building gears and optimizing your factory, these cards add new layers of strategy and combo possibilities not found in the base game.
The content focuses on expanding your construction options. You'll find two Cryolab cards, bringing that freezing laboratory vibe, two University cards for those who love investing in knowledge and efficiency, and the High Roller card, perfect for those who aren't afraid to risk it all for an explosive result. It's not a full game, but rather a set of tools for players who want to take their factory to the next level of complexity.
Imagine the scene: you're trying to close that perfect dice combo, and suddenly, one of these promo cards flips the switch of the match. It's the ideal addition for anyone who already owns the base game and wants to experiment with new synergies without needing a massive expansion. It's simple to integrate, easy to learn (as it follows the main game's rules), and brings that 'collector' feeling to the table. If you're looking for more variety in your building options and want to test new scoring tactics, this pack is the way to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Can I play with only this pack?
Not at all! This is a promo pack, so you absolutely need the Fantastic Factories base game to use these cards.
What exactly comes in the box?
There are 5 cards in total: 2 Cryolab, 2 University, and 1 High Roller.
Does this significantly change the game's complexity?
It doesn't change the basic complexity, but it offers new ways to score and create combos, making the strategy richer.
How many players is this pack for?
Since these are cards that enter the deck or construction, they benefit the game regardless of whether there are 1 or 5 players.
Is it hard to learn?
If you already know how to play Fantastic Factories, it's instant. They follow the same logic as the regular cards.
Is it worth it for a beginner?
I recommend starting with the base game first. Once you've mastered the mechanics, this pack is great for varying your matches.
