About the game
What you do in a play session
Futuropia, Friedemann Friese's grand utopian economic game, transports up to four players into a futuristic society where work is almost optional. Thanks to ultra‑efficient robots, the goal isn’t hoarding wealth but ensuring each household is self‑sustaining, producing enough energy and food so its residents can enjoy leisure time. Each player manages a residential development, balancing production, consumption and technology, always aiming to have as many inhabitants as possible free from work. There is no luck: everything hinges on strategic choices, tech selection and resource optimisation. The game includes several setup variations, guaranteeing fresh situations each playthrough and boosting replay value. The solo mode works as a tutorial, letting a player grasp the mechanisms before facing friends. Victory goes to the player who builds the most efficient development, turning their model into reality. The experience blends resource management, long‑term planning and a dash of sci‑fi, all laced with humor about “unemployment as the new goal.” Perfect for fans of economic simulations without random elements who love to imagine a future where technology frees up leisure.
