Description

Industrial Waste is a fast but deep game designed by Jürgen Strohm in which the players are running factories. Players buy materials, complete orders and invest money in technology improvements to earn VPs, but they need to keep an eye on their waste output. If players have too much waste in their factory dump they are liable to suffer an environmental disaster and have to pay hefty cleanup costs. Development of technological improvements requiring less waste, fewer resources, and reduced workforce are the key to this game.

The game features bidding for resources, hand management and some drafting of cards to gain actions. The first player to grow their factory to a value of twenty triggers the end and the player with the most points wins.

Quotes (from this video)
  • Carcassonne: Over Hill and Dale, this is one of those expansions that I just missed.
  • This is a big, grandiose game with a lot going on, and it's too slow and too boring for me to enjoy it.
  • This is my least favorite Carcassonne game. I hate this game.
  • This is one of the biggest, longest games I've ever played.
  • It's the bad quality's bad.
  • This one is fine. Um this one is not as bad as the other one I played was that you go around and you find stuff. It doesn't look very good though, does it?
  • Leaders on the other hand are a great two-player game where you have a bunch of leaders and you're trying to capture your opponent's leader.
  • Of all the games I talked about today, I think my favorite is actually Leaders.
  • Leaders is a very, very excellent two-player game.
  • This is a re-implementation of Survive: Escape from Atlantis.
  • A little auction game. There was just some really neat like there wasn't many games like this. Now, there are many, many, many games like it.
