Material

• 1 manufactory train board
• 1 sheet with 11 manufactory tiles with one action each

Instructions

1. Print the sheet of paper (preferably using a thick type of paper) and cut along the bold dashed line, cutting away the lower part of the sheet.
2. Cut out part A of the manufactory train along the thin dashed line.
3. Fold part B along the dotted line and unfold it.
4. Apply glue to the unprinted side – we recommend using solvent-free paper glue.
5. Fold part B neatly along the dotted line.
6. Let the glue dry and continue cutting out the 11 squares (manufactory tiles) along the dashed lines.

Manufactory Tiles

The sheet contains 11 manufactory tiles, each showing one action. As printed, the tiles are:

1. Purple cylinder with an arrow
2. Grey question mark
3. Coin
4. Black stack (one) with an arrow
5. Grey stack (one) with an arrow
6. Purple cylinder with an arrow
7. Grey question mark
8. Coin
9. Black stacks (two) with arrows
10. Grey stacks (two) with arrows
11. Star with "×2" on a landscape picture

Setup

• Place the manufactory train next to the game board, clearly visible for all players.
• Shuffle all 11 manufactory tiles, face-down, draw 2 of them at random and place them on the 2 right spaces on the manufactory train, faceup. The first space remains empty for now.
• Draw 3 more tiles and place them next to the manufactory train-board, on the left, faceup.
• Put the stack of 6 remaining manufactory tiles above the train-board.

Gameplay

The manufactory train works like any other action space in RRR.

• If you place a worker or coin on the train, you have to pick one of the 3 faceup manufactory tiles and place it onto the first (empty) space on the train – the space right behind the engine.
• Next you have to perform all three actions, shown on the manufactory tiles, in their entirety. If that is not possible, you cannot use the manufactory train action space. The order, however, is up to you.

Example: You place the manufactory tile showing the industrial marker on the free space of the board. Afterwards, you perform all actions shown on the tiles in the order of your choice.

• Afterwards all fellow players may pick and fulfill exactly one of the actions, according to the turn order. For example, if you're 3rd, your fellow players follow in this order: 4-1-2.
• All players may choose the same type of action.

Example: Red's turn is after yours. They decide to take a coin from the general supply. Next, yellow picks an action and advances one step on the industry track. Lastly, blue picks an action and also takes a coin from the general supply.

• After all players have performed their actions, you slide the 3 manufactory tiles to the right, by one position each. In doing so, the rightmost tile drops out. Put this tile facedown under the stack with the 6 facedown tiles.
• Lastly, take the upper tile from the stack and place it faceup next to the other 2 tiles on the left of the manufactory train-board.

ATTENTION!

When playing with the manufactory train, the game lasts one round less than usual. If you combine the manufactory train with the coal module, you only play one round less.
