About the game
What you do in a play session
CRISIS puts you in the shoes of a visionary industrial leader, tasked with rebuilding your business and generating value amidst this chaos. The mission is clear: will you and your fellow industrialists do your part to save Axia? Can you sacrifice immediate profit for a more promising future, even if it means taking risks? The key to survival and prosperity lies in seeing opportunities where others only see despair.
With engaging worker placement and commodity speculation mechanics, you'll need to masterfully position your managers. Invest in promising companies, trade valuable resources, and navigate the local bureaucracy and regulations. The game is a race against time and other players, where every decision counts to grow and prosper while the country struggles through the crisis. It's a semi-cooperative challenge where collaboration might be necessary, but victory is individual. Prepare for a tense and strategic experience!
