Review: Premium game, so why cheap out on the box? - Great game, but sadly received a torn box. The box feels flimsy to begin with, so I'm not surprised it got damaged in transit.
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed playing "The Great Machine" as it seamlessly integrates its theme and gameplay. It made me feel like an omnipresent entity, watching over the revolutionaries' every move while being unsure of their next steps. Even my three friends who were new to the game were captivated by its storyline, and the tension we felt during each round was palpable. One of the standout features of the game is its high-quality components. The minis are sturdy, and the intricate details add to the game's steampunk aesthetic. I particularly appreciated the clever design of the two dials used to track progress, which adds a unique twist to the game. The Great Machine is an exceptional game that exceeded my expectations in terms of visual appeal and component quality. The rulebooks are well-designed, with a clear and concise explanation of the mechanics, implications, and exceptions. The box insert is also practical and convenient. This is a hidden movement game with a twist - players must kick off three riots to start a revolution by disabling robotic guards, identifying supporters, and raising discontent levels. Meanwhile, the Great Machine is trying to stall the revolution by arresting heroes and their supporters, repairing guards, and issuing directives. The game also features a unique mechanic where players can relocate entire city districts, adding to the excitement and unpredictability of the game. The thematic integration of the game is outstanding, and the mechanics are intuitive, making it an accessible game for players of different skill levels. It's a refreshing change to play a game of direct conflict that isn't centered on war and battles.

## Features

- SECRECY: The Heroes want to keep their plans concealed, but they must communicate in the presence of the Great Machine
- HIDDEN MOVEMENT: The Heroes move covertly through the City by secretly choosing which District they visit
- Great for entertainment, development, and growth

Decent game for a decent price. Enjoyed the concept but the rule book is a tad confusing.
