Kawasaki Factory 20th Anniversary Box R-Eco – Master Of Rules – Builders High

3 Japanese games in one box

Builders High: a game in which buildings are built by paying budget cards. Waste is not allowed, however. Build by paying exactly the price with a well-combined set of budget cards. The aim of the game is to achieve one of the several city planning cards on display. What you can do on your turn is simple: take a budget card or a building card, or construct a building. You need to be shrewd to work out what to do, manage your money, read your opponent’s plans and get cards in advance. Even once the city plan has been achieved, there is no peace of mind. At the end you have to use all the cards in your hand. Lean management makes the difference between victory and defeat.

Building cards have effects that can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the situation. Create a busy city by managing your hand and your card effects well.

Master of Rules: At the same table, each player independently plays by their favourite rule. While one player is playing a trick-taking variant, another wants to bring the total rank of the cards in the trick below 24, and the third is playing a unique card by colour and number. In this dizzying state of total chaos, you have to succeed by using the rules as much as possible.

R-eco+: A local town has a problem with unsorted waste left by its citizens. Each player is a company handling waste sorting and recycling for the town.

Use your lorry (hand) to collect unsorted waste (cards) from the dumps and deliver each type to the relevant recycling station. Every delivery that fills a station’s quota earns you payment from the town.

Your lorry has a weight limit (5 items/cards), however, and if you overload it you have to dump the excess illegally (which costs money).

The player with the most money becomes the town’s sole authorised refuse collector.
