Let's take a look at how the game plays. The box has everything you need for 2-4 players to endulge in some mechanical mayhem. Infernal Contraption is designed to play quickly - the more players the faster! This allows you to play several games in a strech of a few hours.

The full instructions are found on the door flap of the the Infernal Contraption game box. Read on to get an over view of how the game plays.

Set Up: To start each player begins the game with a Power Core card, which is the heart of your machine. The remaining deck is divided up between all the players. These cards become your Parts Pile. Each player draws 7 cards from their Parts Pile into their hand and the game starts.

Start: Players alternate taking turns to add consumables, contraptions, upgrades, and power sources to their respective machines to bolster its power. When cards are discarded they form a common Scrap Pile.

After building your machine for the turn a player then selects an opponent, activates their machine, and resolves all the card effects. That's when the mayhem really begins!

Let's have a closer look at the five types of cards.
