Capstone Games has announced Corrosion, a game about building machines with limited lifespans. The game was produced in partnership with Deep Print Games of Berlin, Germany and will release this November.
In Corrosion, the players are the managers of engineering shops trying to build and operate a variety of useful machines. However, most of these machines “corrode” and break down quickly, limiting their creators’ ability to operate them.
Each turn, a player may play an Engineer card from one of three suits to take actions such as building machines, but doing so may allow other players with higher grade engineers in the same suit to copy those actions. Alternatively, they may “turn their corrosion wheel” to operate the machines in their shop. Those machines then rust unless they have special “chrome” gears that can continue to function until the end of the game.
Corrosion was the brainchild of freshman designer Stefan Bauer. It features artwork by Dennis Lohause (Gaia Project, Terra Mystica). The game comes with a double-sided display board, 4 player boards, 4 factory boards with rotating “corrosion wheels,” 48 cards, 72 machine tiles, 25 tokens, 72 cardboard gear tokens, 20 wooden water tokens, 96 markers, and a score pad. Corrosion is intended for 1 to 4 players, ages 12 and up, and takes about an hour and a half to play. MSRP is $59.95.
