Description

In Carnegie, players embody industrialists seeking to build a business empire in the early 20th century. The core gameplay revolves around developing departments within your company, hiring employees, and strategically managing their actions to generate resources and expand your influence. Every action triggers the activation of other players' corresponding departments, creating a deeply interconnected and interactive experience where timing and anticipating your opponents' moves are crucial.

The game features an action retrieval mechanism where previously used action cards are brought back into your hand, allowing you to reinvest in your company's growth and leverage past efforts. Players must navigate a landscape of limited resources, utilize connections to expand their reach, and score end-game bonuses based on the development of their company to emerge as the most successful industrialist.
