About the game

What you do in a play session

In Oh My Goods!: Big Box you become a medieval European artisan, crafting everything from crude tools to delicate glass windows. Each card stands for a resource, an action, or a finished product, and the secret to victory lies in building efficient production chains. You start with a handful of basic resource cards and, over the course of the game, combine them into increasingly complex items while fulfilling contracts that award extra points when completed. An action queue lets you plan your turn ahead, and chaining cards creates combos that can yield big bonuses. The cards are multi‑use: the same card can act as a resource, an action, or a victory point, demanding solid hand management. The push‑your‑luck element forces you to decide whether to keep extending a risky production sequence or lock in what you have. Variable set‑up means the initial layout changes each game, ensuring high replayability. Turn order progresses predictably, aiding planning, and the tableau you build provides cumulative effects. The Big Box compiles the three titles of the series (Royal Goods, Longsdale in Revolt, and Escape to Canyon Brook) into one compact package, preserving the light, accessible mechanics that earned the line a loyal fanbase. Suitable for 1‑4 players, games run 30‑45 minutes, and while the learning curve is gentle, mastering the production chains can challenge even seasoned economic‑game fans.
