What this is
Car-factory workers optimise and innovate to stand out at the big board meeting. The players are ambitious managers who are trying to impress the board of directors in order to achieve as high a position as possible in the company and secure their careers. Players need to manage suppliers and supplies, improve automobile parts, innovate — anything to stay on the cutting edge, or getting their hands greasy on the assembly line in order to boost production.
