Description

In Poleconomy, 2 to 6 players dive into a world of high-stakes economics and politics, navigating the intricate dance between government, finance, and industry. As a tycoon, you'll buy and sell corporations, invest in insurance, and bid on takeovers, all while facing the challenges of inflation and commercial disaster. But that's only half the game - you'll also need to build your political power, working your way up from opposition to government and ultimately, Prime Minister. As you rise through the ranks, your decisions will have a profound impact on the financial fortunes of all players. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 180 minutes, Poleconomy is a game of strategic depth and complexity, designed by Bruce Hatherley and first published in 1977. It's a game that will challenge and engage you, as you balance your pursuit of wealth and power in a dynamic and unpredictable world.
