Factory Daze


In the midst of a global economic slowdown, families across the country are shunning more expensive restaurants in favour of cheaper fast-food outlets.  The major producer of bio-degradable toys which come with the children's meals has never had it so good, and so to keep up with the increased demand has installed an automated production line to produce everything quickly & efficiently.

But one night the machine mysteriously starts making the wrong toys - all mis-formed & broken - so you've been hired to keep an eye on the machines to ensure each part of each toy is stamped correctly into shape...


HOW TO PLAY

Change the part of toy each machine will stamp so it matches the next toy on the production line.  Five "Wizards" are available for use in the game, each of which can repair a single machine so it works correctly for the current run of toys.
