Horseless Carriage
Manufacturer:
Splotter Spellen
"This year, we want the best, or nothing at all. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today." The famous founder is standing in front of his team giving a motivational speech. "You all know our first customer was a lunatic, and the second had a death wish. So they bought our brakeless bangers. So there were a few accidents. But the only mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. This year, customers demand safety. Of course, active safety features include rapid acceleration for safe overtaking! I know it will be hard to add the new motorblock section to the factory, but before you say you cannot do something, try it! To every engineer, every planner, every mechanic, and every salesperson in this great company I say: If I can dream it, you can do it!"
Horseless Carriage is a game about the dawn of the automobile, a time when cars were invented, and no one quite knew yet what this new contraption would look like and what features would be essential. Early cars sometimes used levers or pedals to steer and a wheel to accelerate. Brakes were not always seen as essential, but sometimes an outside spot to take along an onboard mechanic was. This early, super innovative period occurs in the development of many new product categories. Players are cast as aspiring industrialists trying to find out what features the public will value when buying these new, expensive, and utterly unfamiliar horseless carriages.

Horseless Carriage is a wonderful new game. Build up your factory, and sell cars. My favorite part about the game is the main factory board where you can build anything you want as long as you've got access to the research for the station. Lots of pieces, barely fits back in the box.

Economic strategy is hidden in this charming Tetris placement game. However, it is not easy to master, and the game itself has its own difficulty. It's a pity that Splotter's high price strategy. The price is too high for the quality of the game.

I'm a Splotter novice having only played Bus, Food Chain Magnate, and Antiquity. Horseless Carriage is reminiscent of these games, and I appreciate greatly for all that. There's tile placement, market manipulation, some turn order shenanigans, and nice, crunchy decisions. I've only had a couple of plays of this game at 3 players. I'm excited to get a larger group for this game.
