Overview

In Kanban: Driver's Edition, players take on the role of ambitious managers at a car factory, striving to impress the demanding Sandra, the factory's head of production. Each round, players strategically allocate their limited action points to various departments within the factory: Design, Planning, Logistics, Assembly, and Testing.
