20th Century*

Countries strive to develop and improve in their own ways during the 20th century. Some become financial leaders, while others advance in knowledge or quality of life. Players aim to create a nation free of waste and pollution, where the environment is as healthy as the economy. Growth may lead to waste, and players must balance development with ecological impact to mitigate future environmental disasters. The game unfolds over six rounds, where players oversee urbanization, gather income, and conduct scientific research to discover new technologies. Points are earned based on the quality of life, with bonus points awarded for specific development aspects at designated rounds. Ultimately, the player with the highest score for building a nation with the highest living standards wins.
