Description

Try to outsmart your opponents by creating gears with the rotor pieces. When a gear is formed, a lug is added into play! The first player to add all of their lugs into play, wins the game.

But watch out! If a gear contains differing heights of stacked lugs, all players add lugs into play, so take your time in deciding which rotor to rotate and which lugs to stack. Most importantly, decide which move benefits you the most!

  • You all know what I love these solo games.
  • You know, I said earlier that 10 to 15 slots is my maximum. See, that right there is what we call a parlay. It's just a general guideline. I may have exceeded that already.
