Floating city

How to play - Basics

How the game works

The game is played in turns. Players can do their actions simultaneously, the turn

will progress after all players are ready.

The players operate platforms to increase the happiness in the city.

The platforms are used by thousands of simulated citizens.

How the game works

The citizens try to satisfy their various needs by having core interactions on the

platforms: Some of the citizens provide services and products while others

consume them.

If the platform can provide successful core interactions, the citizens will feel more

happy.
