Hi, my name is Paul Grogan, and in this Gaming Rules video I'm going
to be teaching you how to play Kanban EV, designed by Vital Lacerda and published by
Eagle-Gryphon Games, who sponsored this video. In Kanban EV you and up to 3 other
players are employees in a car factory trying to secure your career
and impress the boss, Sandra. You will take new car designs,
order in new parts to the Warehouse, take some of those parts and
store them on your own board, using them in Assembly to produce cars which
roll along the conveyor and onto the Test Track, where they can be claimed
and placed in your garage. You can also upgrade the 6 different parts of
each model, making the cars worth more points. All the time your actions are being
watched by Sandra, the factory manager. She moves through the departments, evaluating those who have fallen behind
on their training and underperforming. At the end of each working day there may be an
end-of-week scoring if Sandra is at her desk, and there could also be a meeting
where the players present their progress on a number of current
Performance Goals to Sandra, in order to earn her favour. After a certain amount of time and a number
of meetings the game ends with final scoring, and the player with the most points at the end of the game is declared the
winner and earns a promotion. Place the game board in the
middle of the play area. Place the Sandra reference tile here. Use the side with the red stripe. Place the car parts next to the game board
and choose 3 different ones at random, and place them in the
Recycling section of the board. Place the parts, vouchers, and
Books next to the game board. Separate the Factory goals into
3 stacks based on their type. From each stack choose 2 at random to
use, and return the others to the box. Place the certification goals face up in the matching numbered spaces
above the Certification Track, and place the other goals in
pairs on the spaces in R & D. In each pair the goal with the lower
number of icons should be on top, and the one with the most icons on the bottom. Then place a number of Generic
Speech tokens on each Factory Goal. In a 2 player game place 1
token on each Factory Goal, in a 3 player game place 2 tokens on the
Factory Goal with the lower number of each pair, and then 1 token on the
one with the higher number, and in a 4 player game place
2 tokens on each Factory Goal. In the R & D Department,
if playing with 2 or 3 players, cover the Test Track with the overlay board, depicting the same number of people
as players in the game. Place the car part value markers face up on the leftmost space of the Upgrade
Value Track, this side up. Place the Pace Car in either of the
striped spaces, facing counterclockwise. Place the production cycle marker and
meeting marker inside the Test Track. Shuffle the Design tiles and place one at
random in each of the rightmost 8 spaces of the Design Department, design side up. Place the rest of the designs in
3 stacks of 9 tiles each here. The leftmost stack is known as the Central stack and the other 2 are the First Office stacks. In the Assembly Department place one car
of each colour in the matching spaces, facing to the left. Place another car of each colour on the
yellow plate to the left of each other car. Place all of the other cars next to the
game board near the Assembly Department. Shuffle the 5 demand tiles and
place one at random face up in each of the 2 spaces near the end of the line, and place the remaining 3
face down in a stack nearby. On the face up ones place a
number of Generic Speech tokens next to each tile, as depicted on the tile. Shuffle the Kanban order cards and place them
face down next to the Logistics Department. Reveal the top card and place the
6 depicted car parts in the corresponding spaces
of the Warehouse, then put the card face down
on the bottom of the deck. Shuffle the Performance Goal cards and place 4
of them in the Meeting Room in Administration, then place the rest of them
face down in a deck nearby. Choose one of the Final Goal
tiles at random and place it here, returning all of the other
Final Goal tiles to the box. place the week marker here,
and place Sandra at her desk. Shuffle the Award tiles and make 5 stacks
of either 2 tiles for a 2 and 3 player game, or stacks of 3 tiles in a 4 player game. Return the rest of the tiles to the box. Each of the 5 departments has a Training Track. Near the last space place a stack of tiles
and put a Generic Speech Token on top. Each player chooses a colour and takes a player
board and all other components in that colour. Place one of your Speech tokens
in a slot on your player board, and the rest next to your board. Place your basic Garage Bonus
tiles face up on your garages. The order doesn't matter except for
the one with the padlock on the back, which must be placed on the right. Place a Double Upgrade Tile here, this side up. Place a lock on each of
the 5 visible lock symbols. Take a Parts Voucher and place it here, and then draw 3 Performance Goal cards and 2
Kanban order cards, and keep them in your hand. You don't need to keep these
cards in your hand the whole game, just put them face down on
the table if you need to. Place one of your discs on the starting space
of each of the 5 department Training Tracks, and place your banked shift marker
on the left space of the Shift Bank. Place your final disc as a production points
marker on space 15 of the points track. Use this to track your points
gained or lost during the game. After setup is complete, but before the game
begins, there's a few more steps to perform. This is the new employee orientation. Choose a start player at random, and then
beginning with that player and going clockwise, each player places their
certification marker on an empty space in the leftmost section of
the Certification Track. When you place your marker on a space gain the
benefit of that space as depicted by the icon. The order of the markers here, from right to
left, is known as the Certification Track order. It's important for the next step and also
for the turn order at the start of the game. In this order each player takes
one car part from Logistics, and then one design from either
of the rightmost 8 spaces, or from the top of one of the stacks, and places them both on their player board. Note that during the game if you take a
design from one of the 4 rightmost spaces you would gain a benefit. That benefit does not apply during setup. After all players have taken
their car parts and designs, refill any empty spaces in Design by
sliding tiles to the right to fill any gaps, and then filling any empty spaces with tiles
from the corresponding First Office stack. That's the setup of the game
done, you're now ready to play. The game is played over a series of rounds, with each round representing
one day of work in the factory. Each day is divided into 2 phases. Phase 1 is the department selection phase, where players take turns to
choose a workstation in a department that they want to work in for that day. And then in phase 2, in workstation
order, players use their shifts to work and/or train in the department they're in. At the end of each working day except for the
first, if Sandra is at her desk in Administration there is an end-of-week scoring. And also, if the meeting Marker is in
Administration it's time for a meeting, where players can gain points by impressing
Sandra, talking about their achievements. The process of work days continues until there
have been a certain number of weeks and meetings, at which point the game ends and
you proceed to final scoring. The first day of the game,
in Certification Track order, each player chooses an empty workstation
and places their worker there. In subsequent rounds each player in
order, from top to bottom on the board, selects a different department to
the one that they're currently in, and then places their worker on an
empty workstation in that department. What this means is that the choice you make on
one day affects your choice on the next day. And it's company policy that you cannot
work in the same department 2 days running. On the first day Sandra works in Admin,
filling in very important paperwork. However, during this phase on subsequent
days, Sandra moves to another department when it's her turn to select another department. For example, on day 2 all the players
take turns to choose another department, and then because Sandra is at the bottom
of the board she takes her turn last and she moves to the next empty
workstation of the next department. If all of the workstations in
the next department are occupied she skips that department
and moves on to the next one. In the work phase each player, including Sandra,
takes a turn in the new order of workers, from top to bottom. When it's your turn you work a number of shifts
as determined by the workstation you chose. This is either 2 or 3 shifts for
workstations in all departments, apart from Administration where it's 1 or 2. And also, if you have any banked shifts you
may spend some of them to work extra shifts. Each shift represents 3 hours of time, and you are
not allowed to work more than 4 shifts per day. There are various tasks that can
be completed in each department, some taking just one shift and some taking more. After you have completed your
turn, lay your worker down to indicate that you have
finished work for the day. After a possible meeting and end of
week scoring, if the game hasn't ended proceed with the next day. Before I explain how the individual departments work I'm going to talk about
training and certification because it applies to all departments. Each department has its own Training Track, indicating the current level of
training of each of the players. When you work in a department one of the
tasks that you can perform is to train. For each shift you spend on training
move your marker to the next space, placing it on top of any
other markers already there. If your marker crosses the arrow you are
considered to be certified in that department. When this happens, look at the
Certification Track and move your marker to an empty space in the next section,
gaining the benefit of that space. Being certified in a department also gives
you some benefit in the department itself and removes one of the locks
from your player board. I'll explain both of these in more detail when
I cover the specific rules for each department. Also, when working in a department, before
or after spending your shifts you can return one or more Book tokens back to the supply. Each Book you return gives
you 1 point of training, moving your marker one space
forward on the Training Track. This does not cost any shifts at all
as it represents you doing homework and gaining extra training on your own time. Even after you are certified you can
continue to train in the department, up to the point where you become an expert
by reaching the final space of the track. The first player to do this in each
department takes the Speech Token on top of the stack of Award tiles and then
secretly looks through the Award tiles, takes one of them, and puts
the rest back face down. Award tiles give you an immediate benefit
and are then removed from the game. Any other player who reaches the final space
chooses an Award tile from those remaining. At the end of the game you
will also gain points based on your relative position on the Training Tracks. There's a few key rules I need to cover before
we jump into explaining the departments, Books, Parts Vouchers, banked
shifts, and Generic Speech tokens. There are various ways in the game
to gain Books and Parts Vouchers, and when you gain either of them place
them to the side of your player board. You cannot use them on the
same turn as you get them. At the end of your turn move
them onto your player board, where you can now use them on a future turn. There are also a number of ways in
which you can gain banked shifts. When you do, move your marker up the Shift Bank. But like Books and Parts Vouchers, you cannot use
banked shifts on the same turn that you get them. During the game you can
gain Generic Speech tokens. Whenever you do, return the token to the
supply and move one of your Speech tokens from the side of your player board to
one of the slots on your player board. If all of the slots are filled already, keep the Generic token by the
side of your player board instead. You can exchange them for one
of your own after a meeting. Instead of covering the departments in
the order in which they are on the board I'm actually going to explain them in the
logical order of workflow of car manufacturing. The first of these is the Design Department. Designs are created here, which are then
used in R & D to upgrade specific parts. or to claim cars into your garage for testing. Other than training there is only one other
task that can be completed in this department, which is Select a Design. This task costs 1 shift to complete and allows
you to choose any of the 8 rightmost designs and move it to an empty
space on your player board. If you choose one of the designs
from the 2 rightmost columns you gain the benefit depicted between the columns, either 1 banked shift or 1 Book. Whenever you take a design, do not
automatically fill in any gaps. However, after you have finished
spending all of your shifts here, slide all designs in both rows
to the right to fill any gaps and then refill any empty spaces with tiles
from the corresponding First Office stacks. If the First Office stack is depleted, refill
empty spaces with designs from the Central stack. When you become certified in this
department you get 2 benefits. First you remove this padlock
from your player board, allowing you to have one more design on your desk. Second, a new task becomes available to you in
this department, Selecting an Advanced Design. This task is similar to the normal one except that
you can now take the top designs from the stacks. If you take the last design from
one of the First Office stacks replace it with the tile from the Central stack. The Logistics Department is where you
can restock the Warehouse with car parts and then take the ones you need. Other than training there are 2 tasks
that can be completed in this department. The first of these is to issue a Kanban order, which costs one shift and can
only be done once per turn. First you gain one banked shift. Remember that you cannot use banked
shifts on the turn that you acquire them. Then choose one of the 2 Kanban
order cards from your hand and place it onto the Kanban
space of the main board. There are 4 possible ways you can
place the card, either here or here, or you can rotate the card
and put it here or here. Then for each symbol that matches
a Warehouse on its side of the line add one car part to the appropriate Warehouse. So here you would add 2 batteries,
1 motor, and 1 Electronics. The drivetrain and autopilots are not added because the symbols are on
the wrong side of the line. If the card would have been
placed like this instead you would have added 2 batteries,
1 drivetrain and 1 Electronics. And remember the card could have been rotated
in place in either of these 2 positions instead. Finally, place the card on the bottom of
the deck and draw a new card into your hand. The second task you can complete here is
to collect car parts, which cost 1 shift. Select one of the Warehouses and take any
number of car parts from that Warehouse and place them on your player board. You cannot take more car parts
than you can fit on your board. When you become certified in this
department you get 2 benefits. First you remove this padlock
from your player board, giving you a bigger cupboard
to store your car parts in. And then second a new task becomes
available to you in this department, which is Receiving a Parts Voucher. This costs 1 shift and can
only be taken once per turn. You simply take a Parts Voucher and
place it next to your player board. At the end of your turn move
the voucher onto your board. The Assembly Department is where
you use your car parts to build cars and watch them roll down the Assembly Line. At the start of your turn, when
working in this department, before completing any tasks check the Assembly
spaces for each of the models of cars. If a model has all of its
Assembly full of car parts, then return all of those parts to the supply. Then other than training there is one
task to complete in this department. Providing a Car Part. This costs 1 shift. First move a car part from your player
board to any empty Assembly space. The part must be different from any other part
currently on Assembly spaces of that model. Also if the model has had any
of its car parts upgraded, which is something I'll explain later on, all upgraded parts must be
provided before non-upgraded parts. For example here, the city car has
had its body and Electronics upgraded. Therefore the next car part that must
be provided here is the Electronics. After a car part is added, move the car
at the start of the Assembly Line forward. If a car is moved onto a space
occupied by another car the other car is displaced along the path, following the arrows. And this continues until no
more cars can be displaced. If there is ever an option of paths
you choose which path the cars take. Finally, place a new car of the appropriate
model onto the start of the Assembly Line. One common misunderstanding
when learning this game is that it's important to remember that a new car
is added every time a single car part is added, not just when all of the spaces are full. If a car moves off the end of the
conveyor complete some extra steps. First you gain 1 or 2 points, depending
on which conveyor delivered the car. And then if the car model matches
either of the depicted Demand tiles, you gain a Generic Speech Token from next
to the Demand Tile, if there are any left. Finally, move the car to the end of
the line of cars behind the Pace Car. There can only ever be 4 cars behind the Pace Car. If a fifth car would be added, first remove
the car directly behind the Pace Car. Advance the other cars and then
put the new car at the back. At the end of your turn check the Demand tiles. If either of them now have no
more Speech tokens next to them the current demand for that
type of car has been met. Take a new Demand Tile and
place it onto the Demand Space, shuffling the previous tile back into the stack. Then place a number of Generic Speech
tokens next to it as indicated. When you become certified in this department you
unlock the fifth garage on your player board. You can now use this garage to park a car
in, which I'll explain in the next chapter. Before moving on there's 2 extra
rules that I want to explain, and that's Parts Vouchers and Recycling. If you have any Parts Vouchers you can use
one of them as if it were any car part, but you can only do this at the
moment you actually need it, and it's used as if it was that car part. You cannot for example just
spend a voucher to take a part. Ao going back to the previous example, if
you needed to provide an Electronics part and you didn't have one,
but you had a Parts Voucher. Then you could spend that Parts Voucher
to use an Electronics part from the supply and place it into Assembly. Also you could use a Parts Voucher
even if you had the part you needed. The other thing I wanted to
mention now is Recycling. The Recycling Area of the board is
available at any time on your turn, no matter what department you are working in. You can exchange a car part from your board
with one in Recycling. There can only ever be 3 parts in
Recycling, and they must all be different. You can use Recycling for free as
many times as you want on your turn. In the R & D department you can
claim cars from the Test Track and put them into your garage for testing, and you can also upgrade the
parts of the different models. Other than training there are 2
tasks to complete in this department. The first one I'll explain is Claiming Cars. To do this you must have designs on your
desk that match the cars you want to take. You can claim multiple cars
as part of the same task. The number of shifts that it
cost to claim cars depends on the position of the car behind the Pace Car. The first car costs 1 shift, the
second and third cars cost 2 shifts, and the fourth car costs 3 shifts. Remember that you cannot spend
more than 4 shifts per day. To claim a car, take a design from your
desk that matches the car you want to claim and return it to the bottom of the Central stack. Then take the claimed car and place
it into one of your empty garages. If you don't have any empty
garages you cannot claim a car. Whenever you place a car in a garage,
receive the benefit of that garage. These benefits are all explained
in the reference booklet. After you have finished claiming all of
the cars that you want to on your turn, advance the Pace Car a number of spaces
counterclockwise around the Test Track equal to the number of cars claimed, and then advance the other cars behind it. If the Pace Car reaches or
crosses one of the striped spaces move the meeting marker from
here into Administration. This indicates that there will be a
meeting at the end of the current day. The second task in R & D is to upgrade a design, which costs 1 shift each time you want to do it. Choose a design on your desk
that depicts a car part icon. This represents the specific
part that you will upgrade, and the Design Tile shows the model of
car which you will upgrade that part in. You must also have the corresponding car part. But remember, you can use a Parts
Voucher or Recycling if you need to. Place the car part onto an empty upgrade
space for the model that you are upgrading and receive the benefit of the space, if any. On the Upgrade Value Track, move the marker for the car part that
you just upgraded 1 space to the right, and then flip the design you used face down
and place it to the right of your player board, immediately scoring the 2
points shown on the tile. When you become certified in this department
remove the lock from your Double Upgrade Tile. You now have a once per game ability, that when you upgrade a design
like I've just talked about you can choose to make it a double upgrade. If you do this, increase the car parts
value by 2 instead of 1 and flip it over. This means that it cannot be double
upgraded again during the game. You then immediately gain points equal
to the new value of the car part, and then you flip your Double Upgrade Tile
over to show that you have used this ability. At this point in the rules explanation I just want to take a moment to talk about
the concept of Tested Designs. If you have an Upgraded Design Tile for a model
of car that you have in one of your garages that design is known as a Tested Design. For example, if you previously
upgraded the motor of the sports car and then claim a sports car from the Test Track, the design that you have becomes a Tested Design. To show that a design is tested, move it to
the slot above the matching car in your garage. Various game effects refer to Tested Designs,
so it helps to be easily able to identify which of your designs are
tested and which ones are not. The final department to explain is Administration,
which is a bit different to the others. From here you can micromanage other departments. When you work in Administration the
only task available to you is training, however you can select 1 other department
and spend shifts and Books there as if you were working in that department too. For example, you're at this
workstation that gives you 2 shifts. You then spend 1 of your banked shifts to
work an extra one, giving you 3 in total. You choose to micromanage the Design Department. You can spend one of your shifts
training in Administration, another shift to train in Design, and your third shift to take one of
the designs to your player board. You can then also spend your Books to
train in Administration and/or Design. The Administration department is really
useful if all of the workstations are full in the department that you really
wanted to work in that turn. You just work in Administration and
micromanage that department instead. When you become certified in this department,
remove the lock from your Speech Token slot. You can now have 5 Speech tokens instead of 4. At the start of the game you may remember that 3
pairs of Factory Goals were placed on the board, 4 in the 2 parts of R & D and 2
above the Certification Track. These Factory Goals represents
the part of the factory where the Board of Directors want
to see some improvement. As soon as you meet the
requirements of one of these goals take one of the Speech tokens from the tile. And once all tokens have been taken
remove the goal from the game. These 2 goals relate to the
number of cars in your garages. So here, as soon as you have 2 cars
in your garages you meet this goal, and then if you have 4 cars in
your garages you meet this one. These goals relate to the number
of Upgraded Designs you have, which are the designs either to the
side of your player board or above it. And these goals relate to the
number of certifications you have. In other words which section of the
Certification Track your marker is in. Completing Factory Goals is basically
another way to gain Speech tokens, and I will explain how these
work in a later chapter. The Factory Manager Sandra is
responsible for the factory production. She is also constantly
monitoring your performance. As mentioned earlier, in the department
selection phase Sandra takes her turn in order
to select a new department. Whenever she moves to Administration however, instead of placing her at a
workstation place her at her desk. From day 2 onwards when you are resolving the
player turns, Sandra takes her turn in order and she evaluates the department that she is in. Look at the Training Track for that department. The player or players who have
the least training are evaluated, whether or not they are currently
working in the department. If you are evaluated look at the
criteria for penalty on the player aid. If you meet this criteria you lose 1 point plus another point for each banked
shift you have fewer than 5. For example, Sandra is
evaluating the Design Department. Purple and blue have the least training
in that area and are therefore evaluated. The criteria for getting a
penalty in this department is having 2 or fewer designs on your board. Purple has 3 designs so suffers no penalty. Blue however has no designs and loses 4 points, 1 for the base penalty and another 3
because blue only has 2 banked shifts. After evaluating the department that she's
in Sandra also carries out her own task. These tasks are all explained on the
player aid, but I will cover them here. In R & D the cars on the Test
Track are advanced 1 space, and if the Pace Car moves to a striped
space move the meeting marker as usual. In Assembly Sandra's task is to remove
all car parts from Assembly spaces. In Logistics she removes all but
1 car part from each Warehouse. In Design Sandra shuffles the rightmost 4
tiles to the bottom of the Central stack. Slide the tiles down and then
refill any gaps as normal. An Administration Sandra's task
is to perform end-of-week scoring. This does not happen in the
first round of the game. When Sandra performs her task in
Administration the week comes to an end and all players score points as follows. Look at the cars in your garages.
For each car you score 1 point, for each upgrade that has been made to that model, as shown by the number of car parts
on upgrade spaces of that model, then score another point or each
Tested Design you have of that model. Here for example, you have 2
sports cars in your garages. There are 3 upgrades to the sports cars so the
cars are worth a base amount of 3 points each. However, you also have a
Tested Design for sports cars because it was you that upgraded the Electronics, making each of these cars worth 4
points each for a total of 8 points. After all players have scored
points for the cars in their garages move the week marker one space forward if able. This may trigger the end of the
game which I'll explain soon. At the end of each day check to see if the meeting
marker is on the meeting space in Administration. And remember that it's moved here when the Pace
Car reaches or passes one of the striped spaces. At the meeting you and the other players will
use your Speech Tokens you have been collecting along with the Performance Goals
on display, to gain points. At the start of the meeting there
are 4 visible Performance Goals. but during the meeting each player must play
exactly one of the 3 goals from their hand. So there will be more goals
as the meeting goes on. To resolve a meeting players take turns in the
order of the markers on the Certification Track. Once all players have taken a turn
the process repeats again and again, until all players have passed. And once you have passed, the next time
it's your turn you could jump back in. But the meeting will end when
all players pass consecutively. On your turn you must choose to do one of
the following 2 options, speak or pass. If you choose to speak there are 2 steps to carry
out and you can do one or both of these steps. First you may play a Performance Goal card from
your hand, placing it near the other goals. At some point in the meeting
you must play one, and only one, of your Performance Goal cards from your hand,
and you cannot pass until you have done so. But exactly when you play one is up to you. The second step you choose when speaking
is to place one of your Speech tokens from your player board onto
a goal card of your choice. If you played a Performance Goal this turn
and you chose to play a Speech Token as well it must be placed on the
goal that you've just placed. When placing a Speech Token, place it on the
highest numbered empty space on the card. Each player can only have
one Speech Token per card. When you place a Speech Token on a
card you immediately score that goal. The card depicts the criteria for scoring,
and you can score it a number of times up to a maximum of the multiplier printed
on the space where you placed a token. For example, this goal is
about having Upgraded Designs. It's perfect for you since you have 5 of them. You take the first turn at the meeting, so you jump at the chance to
tell Sandra how great you are, placing a Speech Token on the top space. And even though you have 5 Upgraded
Designs the multiplier is a times 3, therefore you can only score 3 of them. Each is worth 2 points, so you score 6 points. The orange player is next and they decide
to talk about Upgraded Designs too. The next multiplier is times 2
but they only have one of them, so they only score 2 points. You can even place a token on a goal
if it would score you no points, but be careful doing this too much as there
are probably better uses for your tokens. Also, you're not required to place a Speech Token
on your own goal, although you probably want to, because you probably should have been
spending time before the meeting to look at the 3 goal cards in your hand and work
out which one of them you're going to play when it comes to the meeting. Remember you must play one of your goal cards. And once you have played your goal other people can jump on it and
speak about it on their turns too, so be careful when playing one that
other players don't get too much benefit. Your other option in the meeting is to pass. You cannot pass if you have not
yet played your Performance Goal, and also if you do pass you can still
take part in the meeting on a later turn. It can be sometimes beneficial to pass and wait
to see what goals the other players might play. One quick note about the Recycling Area. During a meeting this area
is closed and cannot be used. This is important because some of the
goals refer to having certain car parts, so you must get them before the
meeting starts if you want to use them. Once all players pass consecutively the meeting
is over and you perform the following steps. All Speech Tokens used are
returned back to the players, but they're placed to the side
of their player board, not on it. Any Speech Tokens you did not
use remain in their slots. If at this point you have any Generic
Speech tokens return them to the supply , and for each one you return move a Speech
Token to an empty slot on your board. Then discard all face up Performance
Goals, removing them from the game. Each player then chooses one of the
2 remaining goals from their hand and places it face down in the meeting room. Once they are all placed reveal them,
and if playing with fewer than 4 players fill the rest of the remaining
spaces with cards from the deck. Each player then draws 2 new
Performance Goals from the deck so that they have 3 cards in hand again. Return the meeting marker back to the Test Track and advance the production cycle
marker one space forward if able. The production cycle marker and the
week marker track the end of the game. When one of them is on at least the second
space, and the other one is on the third space, the end of the game is triggered. Finish the current day including an end
of week scoring and meeting if appropriate and then proceed to final scoring. First look at the Final Goal tile
which depicts 3 separate achievements. You should have been looking at
this tile from the start of the game as it will give you an objective to aim
for that will score you more points . The criteria for being able to score each
of the achievements is shown on the tile. For example, this achievement requires you to have
3 of the same type of car and it's worth 7 points. This one is for having 3 different
Upgraded Designs for 6 points. And the last one is for having all 5
certifications and is worth 8 points. To score an achievement you need to use one
of your Speech Tokens from your player board or a generic one from the
side of your player board. Multiple players can score the same achievement. You then score 1 point for
each shift you have banked, and you score 1 point for each Speech Token,
Book, and Parts Voucher on your board, as well as 1 point for each Generic
Speech Token next to your board. Next look at the Training
Track in each department. The player who is in first
position scores 5 points, then 3 for second, and 1 for third. If multiple players are on the same space it's the
one on top of the stack who is considered ahead. And note, if you haven't trained in this
department at all you cannot score points. So here purple scores 5 points, yellow
scores 3, and nobody gets the third place. You then gain points for each car in
your garage, this is depicted here. And finally you score points for each of your
Tested Designs, the ones above your player board. Each design is worth a number of points
according to the value of the depicted car part, as shown here. And the player with the most point wins. If there is a tie there are 3 tiebreakers. The most cars, the most Tested Designs,
and then the most banked shifts. If somehow there is still a tie
all tied players share the victory. Four variants are included in the game for
you to change things to suit your tastes. In the first variant Sandra
is a much nicer manager, rewarding you for things that you've done well rather than penalizing you for
things that you've done badly. Use the side of the reference tile with
the green stripe instead of the red stripe. Also since you cannot lose points
in this version of the game players start on zero points instead of 15. Whenever Sandra evaluates a department she
rewards the players with the most training there instead of penalizing the
ones with the least training. And the criteria for receiving a reward is
now for having 2 of the appropriate thing, rather than not having 2 of them. The reward itself is simple, 1
point for each banked shift over 5. The second variant is called The Planner. During setup place your 4 Garage
Bonus tiles in any order you want. The tile with the lock is still
placed on the rightmost space. During the game when you claim a car it must
be placed in your leftmost empty garage. Variant 3 is Expert Tuning. During setup use the Expert Garage Tiles instead
of the basic ones, and it's as simple as that. But note you could have some
players using the Basic Garage Tiles and the others using the Expert Garage Tiles. For example, if experienced players
are playing with a new player. The final variant is Delayed Tuning. In this variant you keep the 4 leftmost
Garage Bonus Tiles next to your player board instead of placing them in the slots. Only the tile with the lock is
placed in the rightmost space. And now, when you claim a car you
place it in one of your garages and choose any one of your tiles next to
your board, and place it in that garage. You can gain the bonus of
the tile by flipping it over, but this cannot be done on the
same turn as you gained the tile. And that is how you play Kanban EV. The game also comes with a solo mode
which I have a play through video for coming shortly after I release this video, so if you want to see that find the link in the
show notes or click on the little i in the corner. I also aim to do a multiplayer
play through in future too. And when I do that I will add links as well. Please remember to give this video a thumbs
