Steamopolis

About this board game

Steamopolis is an engine-building board game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 100 minutes. In this steampunk city, a new mayor must be elected after the old Mayor fell between the gears—and every contender believes they have what it takes to lead.

Built like a giant skyscraper of gears and pipes, Steamopolis offers different levels filled with useful services and resources. Players rely on steam-driven zeppelins to reach them, carefully plotting their courses through the city before putting their plans into motion.

Each turn challenges you to manage the flow of your developing system. Heat your boilers, take action, and make the most of the opportunities available across the city. The better you optimize your engine, the more effectively you can use it to demonstrate your talent.

• Build and optimize a steam-powered engine.
• Plot routes for your steam-driven zeppelin.
• Access services and resources across the city’s different levels.
• Compete with a fair amount of non-destructive interaction.

Steamopolis focuses on improving your own engine while responding to the plans of your opponents. Interaction is present without being heavily destructive, allowing players to pursue their ambitions while still competing for the title of future mayor.

Whether you are playing alone or with up to three opponents, Steamopolis asks you to turn planning, boiler management, and efficient action into a convincing claim to the city’s highest office. Optimize your engine, utilize it, and prove your worth.
