Board Game Geek Rating: 5.56. Board Game Geek Average Player Rating: 7.10. This 2 - to - 4 - player board game was published in 2017. It's a Kickstarter exclusive C.O.G (Cabinet of Gadgetry) board game by Dr. Finn’s Games, including all stretch goals and the KS Exclusive 'Dr. Widget Promo Pack'. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Set in London 1875, The Cabinet of Gadgetry (C.O.G.) is seeking resources to build The Great Apparatus, an automated machine for safe and fast transportation in the crowded London streets. Will you step up and do your part? C.O.G. is a steampunk - themed board game that combines a crossword game with a eurogame. Each player has a tableau like a Scrabble board to spell resource words like cog, pulley, rod, aether, bulb, and lens. Spelling a word means collecting that resource, which earns points at the end of the game. The central turn mechanic is worker placement. In each round, players take turns placing workers to get letter tiles, action cards, and a die. Letter tiles are for making words on the tableau. Action cards offer various actions, such as alternative ways to collect resources, letter manipulation, victory points, and special powers. The die has two uses: moving pawns on a track for more abilities and activating some action cards. We're excited to support campaigns and bring you games like the C.O.G. Plus Exclusive Dr. Widget Promo Pack. A significant portion of your purchase will go towards backing new Kickstarter games.
