"What a charming card game with high player interaction. Love the beautiful cards and components."

"Gearworks is a very sharp little puzzle of a game. It plays very fast and is surprisingly weighty."

"There are more than 700 games in my basement, and we couldn't think of a single one that was anything like this game. And we love that."

How to Play

1) Play cards

There are two rules:

  • Column color – only one card of each color in a single column.
  • Row order – all numbers in a single row must be in either ascending or descending order.
2) Rotate gears

Claim columns and rows as your own – that is, until your opponents take them away from you!

You may even earn bonus sparks based on where you play your cards.

3) Collect parts & build

Take one part for each column and row that you still control at the end of the round.

​Build contraptions for bonus points! You get one contraption each round, and may also buy more throughout the game.

4) Score points

At the end of three rounds, score points for contraptions you built, unused parts, and sparks.

The player with the most points becomes the master tinkerer!
