CITIES:

Each city has certain geographical features and buildings at the start. A kind of starting point.

GAME MECHANICS:

City sustainability is ensured by growth in indicators on 3 scales: E, S and G.

This growth can be achieved through:

• Building objects, for example, residential buildings, commercial real estate, enterprises, hospitals, parks, etc.
• Implementing programs, for example corporate volunteering, installing pipe filters, etc.

The game also has a single, integral scale that determines the number of city residents.

Participants start the game from a certain point. The game ends in 2 cases:

• Game time completion.
• Players reached the red zone on all 3 indicators (the city ceases to exist).

GAME MECHANICS:

Each game participant plays a specific role.

Each role has:

• Its own resource: money, resident energy or administrative resource.
• Individual goal.

When 100% of individual goals are achieved, the participant’s currency becomes universal.

EXAMPLE Mayor: Must build a school and an open children’s playground.

Company “IT Technologies”: Must build a Data center and introduce employee training program.

GAME FLOW:

Each round consists of 3 phases:

1. Making individual decisions: what to build, who to partner with for this.
2. Construction: investments in objects and programs.
3. Resource return and results analysis.
