Grand Machine

Test of the Grand Machine

In this test players attempt to create a Grand Machine that is closest to their individual requirements. Once created, players will be able to upgrade individual components to improve their score. Each component is weighted and the closer their Grand Machine is to their requirements, the higher their score. The highest scorer each week passes the test.
