Scrap World - Steampunk themed Civilization Card Game

*drools*

Just downloaded the rules and am looking through it. I like the cover art btw.

Question: When bidding, is the player who originally chose not to take the component card allowed to participate as well?

I was wondering, the two empty plots are the only ones that players will have, yes?

A components market sounds good tho I'm not sure about the die rolling to see about effects. Is it there just to be there or does it simulate the player's interaction with the market master or something?

The high cost sounds reasonable, I think. This would represent items that others have already spent their time scrounging for while the cards that you pull from the deck represent your own efforts at scavving, yes?

Everything looks good and if I wasn't about to nod off, I'm sure that I'd have something more constructive to add. It looks well put together and I would definitely like to see this in action.

I'm having a difficult time downloading the pdf. I LOVE the name of the game. Looking forward to reading the rules when I can figure out the pdf download.

Bansai, (and others who may want to download the file)
I had some confusion about it at first also. The screen is so loaded with ads, I couldn't see what I was supposed to do to get the file. But here is the procedure:
You must click the download button, then play the American Cancer Society video on the following page so you can enter the text that is shown durring and after the video as the verification ID. The you will receive the pdf.

Moapy,
I have looked over the pdf quickly, and the game sounds interesting. I do have a few early ideas, suggestions, etc. if you don't mind...

Text suggestions:
In the Story So Far section, the first line contains "word" where I believe you wanted "world".
Do you intend to call it Materiel or do you mean Material?
pg 15 Refurbishment: faxtory -> factory
pg 16 Change of Plans: is the construction replaced at random, or do you choose the new card to put into it's place?

Scavenging, Auctions, Market, receiving Gold each turn:
What if the material and component cards had both a buy and a sell value.
When you scavenge (draw a card) each turn, you can decide to either keep the component (no charge since you found it) or to sell the item to the Market for it's Sell value.
Instead of an auction (which can have issues if too few or too many players are bidding) the card can then be purchased from the market for it's Buy value on a players turn.
Players may also be able to sell other cards in their hand to the market if they wish.
I may also suggest an upkeep of the market between each turn. Perhaps it gets set back to contain exactly X+1 cards (X is the number of players in the game) with the oldest cards being removed from one side of the market, and new cards being added to the other side of the market. This way if a player buys or sells a bunch of cards to/from the market on their turn, the next player doesn't have too many or too few options available.
This could replace the "take 2 gold per turn" rule, which doesn't seem to fit into the setting. (Is it income from some other job you have or inheritence or something?)

Actions:
First off, it seems to me on a quick read that the Actions are quite powerful. Especially if each player gets one each turn. They also seem very unbalanced against each other. (Not necesarily a bad thing.) For example, one card lets you take all of another players cards (hurting them by X, and improving you by X; a swing of 2X), but another forces a player to discard half of their cards (hurting them by 1/2X; a swing of 1/2X).

Card bonuses:
Did I miss something, or were the buildings, etc supposed to give you some additional bonus action or such? Or are they strictly for Victory points?

Again, this was just a once over read. So I may have misunderstood some things, etc.
I know that I would like to go back and review how the building construction works again (paying resources, assigning workers, etc)

This got pushed down the list and I had forgotten about it. Any news on this Moapy? I like this one a lot.
