Hey!
I'm working on a new boardgame which should have three resources: Minerals, Oil and ?
The third one should be something like "Industrial Products", but that name is a little bit long. Any good suggestions? I was thinking of "Technology", but it is not actually. Rather it is a mix of low-tech industrial products...
Thanks!
Gizmos? Bits? Products? Goods? Commodities? Widgets?
Perhaps it would help if you mentioned a little more about your game.
The actual term for those items in the financial sector is durable goods.

Hope that helps,

If electronics/cars/engines... Plastic
Just an observation, but aren't those two different things? If you say "minerals and oil" and call them resources, I think most people (okay, maybe just me) would think the third is also a raw good, like lumber, stone, grain, oxygen, water, etc. Industrial products / durable goods are manufactured resources, and are at least partially made up of your other two goods (minerals + oil > processing > durable goods).
Can you not just simply call it "Produce". A sort of play on youre orter name: industrial products. It is short and simple and still tells you what it is. Well it is my thoughts about a name anny way.

Thanks for the input!
Well, the game is taking place in the modern world and the "Industrial Products" that I want to rename include things like engines, electronics, vehicles etc.
Thanks!
