Acélmágnás

Acélmágnás is a Eurogame set in 19th-century capitalism, where players take on the role of industrialists building their manufacturing empires. Your aim is to earn as much money as possible by acquiring companies, extracting resources and combining them in the most profitable ways. Whoever holds the most money after the fourth round wins.

Each player begins with a randomly chosen starting card showing the resources at the top, along with four coloured discs numbered 1 to 4. Every round consists of an auction phase and a production phase. Capitalist cards with unique effects can be dealt at the start of the game, and for an extra challenge players can be required to build a production chain, placing each newly acquired company card in the chain where it stays for the rest of the game.

The game relies heavily on card drawing and auction mechanics, combined with a variable setup. The rules are easy to learn, while the theme is recommended from age 12. For 2-4 players, with a playing time of around 30 to 60 minutes.
