Furnace is an engine-building game where players take on the role of 19th-century capitalists building their industrial enterprises and aiming to earn as much money as possible by buying companies, extracting resources, and processing them in the best possible combinations. Each player starts the game with a random starting card, the resources shown above, and four colored discs with values from 1 to 4. The game is played over four rounds, and each round consists of two phases: Auction and Production. During the auction, 6-8 company cards are laid out face up with their basic sides. Players take turns placing one of their discs on one of these cards, but a disc cannot be placed on a card if a disc of the same value or color is already present. This way, you place discs on four cards. Once all discs are placed, the cards are resolved from left to right. Whoever placed the highest-valued disc will claim that card, but first, anyone who has a lower-valued disc on that card will receive compensation, either the depicted resources multiplied by the value of their disc or a processing ability (exchange X for Y) up to the value of their disc. Once all cards have been claimed or discarded, players enter the production phase and use their cards in the order of their choice. Each company card has an action - either production or processing - on its basic side and two actions on its upgrade side. During the production phase, you can use each of your cards once to gain resources, process these resources into other resources or money, and upgrade your cards. At the end of four rounds, whoever has the most money wins. Furnace also includes capitalist cards that contain unique effects, and if desired, you can deal one to each player at the start of the game. For an additional challenge, you can ask players to create a "production chain," where each newly acquired company card is placed somewhere in this chain and locked in position for the rest of the game.
