Contents - Description

Electric vehicles (EVs) have become more common since 2014 and are the future of the automobile industry. They are superior vehicles due to them being more efficient, easier to maintain, cleaner, and cheaper to run. They are computerized machines that use AI to improve safety and in the near future will provide autonomous driving. They receive software upgrades during their lifetime and are constantly improving, unlike their traditional combustion-engine counterparts, which start to become obsolete as soon as you start using them.

You will be overseeing the production of these vehicles in Kanban EV, with "kanban" (看板) being the name for a scheduling system that supports an efficient assembly line, just-in-time production, and a smooth workflow process. Over the course of the game, players take on the role of rookie employees who are trying to secure their career. You need to manage suppliers and supplies, improve and innovate automobile parts, and get your hands greasy on the assembly line in order to boost production and impress the factory manager.

You must make shrewd use of the recycling facilities and the limited factory supplies in order to appropriate parts when the suppliers come up short. Because the factory must run at optimum efficiency, production doesn’t wait for you or for mistakes. Sandra, the factory manager, will review your performance and keep the factory on tempo.

Kanban EV is a game that focuses on resource and time management that puts you in the driver’s seat of an entire production facility, racing for factory goals and the highest level of promotion. You earn production points (PP) for performing various actions in the game, and the player with the most PP at the end of the game wins.

  1. 8.5 out of 10

    Initial Impressions: Another classic Lacerda title. Once you get the initial teach out of the way and play a couple of rounds, gameplay is actually ultra smooth. So smooth that it's quite easy to get into a loop of focusing on all the stuff you'd like to do rather than the key things that you will actually be able to accomplish in the allotted time. That's where the real pressure seems to be in this game--not in doing performative tricks for Sandra to avoid losing a couple points here or there, but in not getting distracted from making sure you are well-positioned to speak about the right types of things in meetings by the time they happen. Need a few more plays to evaluate where this will fall in my collection, but easily Top 50 material.

  2. 10 out of 10

    Wowza, I am definitely part of the Vital appreciation cult now after playing this masterpiece. Don't know if I like it more than the Gallerist but this game has some of the smartest worker placement and action selection I have seen in a long time. Super thinky, super awesome.

  3. 8 out of 10

    With a few more plays this could increase in score. It felt a little cutthroat being able to block people off from the departments they wanted to go in. And Sandra is really ruthless. I'm generally not a fan of games that cause you to lose points -- I'll need to try the Nice Sandra variant and maybe will increase this score.
