## Description
Little Factory is a fun and strategic card game where you become an industrial production master. The goal? Turn basic resources into valuable products and build factories to boost your output. Each turn, you choose between producing new resources or trading what you have for better cards. The factories you construct give special bonuses, enabling crazy combos like turning thread into cloth in the blink of an eye. The first to reach 10 victory points wins the CEO of the year trophy! The game is quick (around 30 minutes), but every decision matters - will you hoard resources or go for a risky trade? Beware: the more factories in your industrial complex, the more options you'll have in future rounds. Perfect for engine-building fans who enjoy a dash of racing.
