Pros & Cons
Pros
Furnace is an excellent engine builder board game. Plays pretty fast and has a fun bidding mechanic. Cards are used to collect or convert resources to money.
Despite it's short playing time, furnace is satisfyingly thinky. The game itself is incredibly fun. It even shakes things up a bit. Enjoyable but very solitaire like.
The two player variant is simple and unobtrusive. Complex, challenging, mathematics are involved.

It can be played with 24 players but when played with only two you have to add a “third computer” player to the auction phase

If there was more of a variety catered for 23 players it would be more impressive

But the next phase is more like a puzzle

Where a game of terraforming mars or power grid might take upwards of two hours to play furnace only lasts four short rounds
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
In a three or four player game it can be played in under a half hour and in two player mode with experienced players the game can be completed in fifteen minutes

The components are just okay and the box is bigger than it needs to be for whats in it although i purchased the optional player mat and if you remove the factory insert you can fit the playmat in the box with all of the components which is nice
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Furnace retails around forty bucks which may be a little high for what you get in the box
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
All players are guaranteed at least one factory card because the bid uses a ranking system from 14 and no two bids on the same card can have the same rank
