EV factory crunch, performance reviews
BGG · boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/284378
Kanban EV is a heavy game (weight 9/10). The decision tree is among the deepest in the hobby (10/10), with meaningful long-term planning every turn. Decision density is intense (9/10) — expect brain-burn and the occasional bout of AP. Players are constantly affecting each other's plans (interaction 7/10). Direct attacks are minimal (3/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
Of every game in our catalog, Kanban EV is closest to The Gallerist (96% profile match) but scores higher on density (9 vs. 8).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.

Variance is moderate (input 4, output 1/10). Catch-up is moderate (4/10).
The theme is well-integrated (8/10). The engine-building arc is strong (engine 8/10) — early-game investments pay off in explosive late-game turns. There's some narrative flavor (narrative 5/10).
