Description
In Germany in 1888, Bertha Benz, wife of auto pioneer Carl Benz, undertook the first cross-country drive in an automobile. While making the trek from Mannheim to Pforzheim, her car ran out of fuel in Wiesloch. Mrs. Benz stopped into the city drugstore to obtain the appropriate chemicals to make more fuel, effectively creating the world´s first gas station.
By the year 1928, Germany possessed a dense road network where combustion engines had triumphed over electric and steam engines and where cars were produced via assembly lines. Manufacturers began producing more affordable vehicles for the broader population.
In Kraftwagen, players advance the state of automobile development and production by playing as start-up companies. They must research new technologies and build improved chassis and engines. Early Grand Prix races provide the young companies with prestige and money, but the players must maintain a key balance of fulfilling the demand preferences of buyers at the lowest possible price.
Kraftwagen: V6 Edition includes a new set of tiles, featuring the next technology available at the time, the V6 Engine.

Quotes (from this video)
- Ark Nova is my favorite game of all time.
- Look at how gorgeous that thing is. Oh my god, I am drooling. This is such a pretty insert to get out.
- So, inserts I think are worth it.
- The money you get in those two games is garbage.
- I do have a lot of inserts in a lot of my games. Now, some of them I probably shouldn't have bought because the game doesn't get played often enough.
- Upgrade it from something that's crap to something that's really good. Don't upgrade something that's already good to something that's just a bit more good. It's not worth the money.
- People don't respect wood enough. Wood pieces are great.
- I don't care about miniatures in games now. I'm getting sick and tired of gray miniatures in all my games.
- The Folded Space insert for Civilization and New Dawn is a thing of genius.
- Do bling your games is good, but remember that you're paying a lot of money for it.
- Live comedy these days has suffered a lot because of all the political correctness nonsense.
- The golden age of comedians is sadly dying out.
