You found a box of old computer games at a yard sale and can’t wait to play them with your friends. There’s just one problem — modern computers won’t run them. So you all race to build your own vintage computer from spare parts. Welcome to the Computer Junkyard. Computer Junkyard is a tabletop board game where players compete to assemble a complete computer from a limited supply of illustrated hardware tiles. Hunt for the right components, manage your budget carefully, and keep a close eye on what everyone else is building. Every decision matters. Choose which components to pursue, when to change course, and when to disrupt opponents by playing computer bugs, stealing their hardware, or manipulating prices. Wait too long and your build becomes vulnerable. Move too early and you expose weaknesses others will exploit. The rules are straightforward and the game is approachable for anyone — no computer knowledge required. But beneath the surface lies real depth, replayability, and constant tension at the table. No two games play out the same way, and the player who wins is often the one who saw the puzzle differently. Everything comes down to one moment — installing that final software tile before anyone else does.
VINTAGE TECH MEETS FRIENDLY COMPETITION: You’re all racing to build a computer. Assemble hardware like a jigsaw puzzle that changes every time you play. Be the first player to install your software tile to win!
SCAVENGE, STEAL AND SABOTAGE: Buy and sell hardware, trade with each other, and attach pesky computer bugs to slow your opponents down.
NO PRIOR COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED: Novices and tech whizzes alike can come together to compete. Experience the nostalgia of building a classic computer where every dollar and square inch matter.
THE MORE YOU PLAY, THE MORE YOU DISCOVER: Learn to manipulate the market to your advantage. Hone your tile-building technique and plan ahead. Surprise your opponents when you complete your computer in one masterful move.
THE BEST COMPUTER GAME NOT PLAYED ON THE COMPUTER: Nothing to download, no screen required — just pull up some chairs, gather your friends, and play.
