About the game
A mini-extension available as a free "Print & Play" version. Just print it and cut it out. Setup: • Place the manufactory train next to the game board, clearly visible for all players. • Shuffle all 11 manufactory tiles, face-down, draw 2 of them at random and place them on the 2 right spaces on the manufactory train, faceup. The first space remains empty for now. • Draw 3 more tiles and place them next to the manufactory train-board, on the left, faceup.• Put the stack of 6 remaining manu-factory tiles above the train-board. Gameplay: The manufactory train works like any other action space in RRR. • If you place a worker or coin on the train, you have to pick one of the 3 faceup manufactory tiles and place it onto the first (empty) space on the train – the space right behind the engine. • Next you have to perform all three actions, shown on the manufactory tiles, in their entirety. If that is not possible, you cannot use the manufactory train action space. The order, however, is up to you. -description from publisher's website
