We're in a utopian future, and we are responsible for managing a condominium and giving our residents as much comfort as possible. Manage your food and energy generators, put robots to work, and give your residents more quality of life!

Utopia

Here's the million-dollar question: What does the term "utopia" mean? Utopian settings are not "everything the real world is not", but something on the horizon that "can be possible". The big idea behind utopian ideas is that they move us and encourage us to research and innovate, so, they challenge what is possible.

Watch some gameplay:

If you want to work on your math, management, or economy skills, Futuropia is the perfect game for you!

The entire game is a lesson in resource management and math, as you'll need to calculate everything - from food, to energy, to living spaces, and much more.

You'll also need to manage, at all times (truly, at all times), how much money you have, so you can get living spaces and generators. Then you'll have to count how many residents you have to feed them, how many robots you have, and how much energy the entire condominium consumes, then calculate how much energy you produce, as well as food, before every action.

In theory, if you do your actions before you calculate these numbers, you'll most definitely make mistakes. In Futuropia (and in life), that's a fact!

You can't play Futuropia without calculating these numbers, managing your economy, and keeping an eye on the market. This game will highly punish you if you don't, so there is simply no way to play it without these skills! Your condominium will stagnate if you don't calculate these numbers before you do your actions; you might not even be able to play your actions, in fact. This is great because you'll learn that, if you don't think things through, you'll simply not be able to do them at all. You can't force your way through. It is quite a lesson!

Working on your economic skills while looking at the future is what Futuropia does best, in a very fun way as well.

In Futuropia, the rule of the game is: produce before and consume later, which is a tale as old as time in economics!

I highly recommend Futuropia for your collection!!!
