Description

Wolsung: The Boardgame is a large family game for 2 to 4 players. They act as inventors and industrialists living in a fictional steampunk world, largely similar to the Victorian times. The inventors develop extraordinary constructions – steam cars, golems and zeppelins – in the race for the title of the best designer at the World’s Fair.

The objective of the game is to build the best and the most unique machines – players compete against each other for plans of the devices as well as for the resources necessary to build them.

The game contains multiple elements: the board, auxiliary boards (players’ workshops), a 55-card deck, numerous tokens and wooden markers and a surprise gadget being the key element of the game mechanics.
The board game constitutes the first product of the Wolsung Project, which includes publishing a modern role-playing game "Wolsung: Magic of the Steampunk Age" (in Polish) as well as other games and expansion packs to them and gadgets such as playing card decks and special dice.
