Update 2025 - back in stock!

We now have an update to Devices. This is now Devices 2.0. It has a new look and refined rules.   Your challenge is to create devices that can generate the right cubes to make an order. Get that right and you can complete an order. The winner is the person to score 30 or more in the last round. Devices is for up to 4 players. Solo - give it a go.

We make this game in Italy and here in the UK. This is a short run game as we continue to improve it. The small batches sell out fast. We want to run a larger run but we will nee your support to make that happen.

Unlike most games on the market Devices is a beta (1.7, 1.8, 2.0). It's a work in progress. As more people play we learn, make improvements and release a new version. We have sold out of our last round of units at the UK Games Expo 2025 again so we are looking to make a new batch. You can now order this on backorder.

Playing Devices

In the example below, the player is going to fulfil a 12 Point Order. The player has used two of their own hoppers they receive when they start. They have purchased an addition hopper for 2 from the basic parts shop. The then purchased a Basic Splitter (1), a Special Splitter (1b, 2r, 2y) for 3, a Special  Splitter (2r,5y) for 3, and a Special Splitter (2y,1r) for 1. They then use Load for the third action and let the Device run. The two blue cubes are split, one goes into the the first hopper, the second goes up to the Special Parts Splitter to be turned into 2 red and 2 yellow. The two red get turned into 5 yellow and drop into the second hopper, the two yellow go to the bottom and turn into 1 red and that drops into the third hopper. This gives the player 5 yellow, 1 red and 1 blue. There is 1 yellow surplus that returns to storage. The rest are used to fulfil the order for 12 points.
