Assembly is a quick, cooperative or solo, puzzle card game that fits in your pocket.
Using the Command Cards in your hand Draw, Swap, and Rotate Room Modules around the ship until they sit on their matching Blueprint where you can lock them into place to build a ship and escape.
No two games will ever be the same because of a variable setup, several role cards and the optional use of malfunctions activating on locking that force you to change your strategy. Also, two-player games add limited communication into the mix and the optional use of sign language instead of verbal communication.
With 2 base sets, you can now play the double ring variant of Assembly which is suitable for 1-4 players (rules are in the File section).
