Furnace is an engine-building Eurogame in which players take on the roles of 19th-century capitalists building their industrial corporations and aspiring to make as much money as they can by purchasing companies, extracting resources, and processing them in the best combinations possible.
Each player starts the game with a random start-up card, the resources depicted at the top of that card, and four colored discs valued 1-4.
The game is played over four rounds, and each round consists of two phases: Auction and Production. During the auction, 6-8 company cards are laid out with their basic sides face up. Players take turns placing one of their discs on one of these cards, but you cannot place a disc on a card if a disc of the same value or color is already present. Thus, you'll place discs on four cards.
Once all the discs are placed, the cards are resolved from left to right. Whoever placed the highest-valued disc will claim this card, but first anyone with a lower-valued disc on this card will gain compensation, either the resources depicted multiplied by the value of their disc or a processing ability (exchange X for Y) up to as many times as the value of their disc.
Once all the cards have been claimed or discarded, players enter the production phase, using their cards in the order of their choice. Each company card has one action — either production or processing — on its basic side and two actions on its upgraded side. During the production phase, you can use each of your cards once to gain resources, process those resources into other resources or money, and upgrade your cards.
At the end of four rounds, whoever has the most money wins.
Furnace also includes capitalist cards that contain unique effects, and if you want, you can choose to deal one out to each player at the start of the game. For an additional challenge, you can require players to create a "production chain", with each newly acquired company card being placed somewhere in that chain and locked in position for the remainder of the game.

Wulf Gaming offers products for sale before they are released. Many of these pre-order products will have a “maximum number per client” limitation. If this limitation exists, it will be clearly noted in the product’s description. If you order above the maximum amount per client, we will edit your order and refund the difference. That refund may also carry our 10% cancellation fee.
Pre-order products must be paid for in full to place an order and reserve the product(s). We use several different distributors to fill orders and work very hard to fulfill every order. When we are unable to fill all orders, we will fill orders by the oldest order date first.
If you place an order that contains both a pre-order product and product that has already been released, we will hold your entire order until all the products are available to ship. If you wish to split your order into various shipments, we can do this upon request, but additional shipping costs may apply. You can also place separate orders - for example, 1 order with just the pre-order product(s), and 1 order with the in-stock items you would like to ship now.
Release dates for pre-order products are estimated release dates. These dates change often based on manufacturer and production delays, shipment delays, and other delays out of our control. We will do our best to update estimated release dates as we get information, but please be aware that these dates do change often.
Cancellations/Refunds
If you have placed a pre-order and would like to cancel before shipment, you can do so but a 10% cancellation fee applies. That fee will be deducted from your refund amount. We can also provide a 100% full refund of store credit as another option.
If we are unable to fill your order due to fulfillment issues by our suppliers, we may choose to waive our 10% cancellation fee and offer a full refund. This decision will be made on a case by case basis by the sole discretion of Wulf Gaming.
Please contact us at support@wulfgaming.com if you have any additional questions about our Pre-Order Policy.
