For LD50 Reviewers:

The web version includes work after game jam, which improve the game overall.

Please download and review the Jam version (in the links at bottom of page). 

Also use the rules below as the economy model is different:

But do please return and try the current version, which is much more enjoyable.  

=======================

Welcome to PEACE COUNCIL!

This is a game about keeping the balance of the all coutries of the world,

where a country will start a war instantly once he sees a neighbour vulnerable

(A world crueler than our own, isn't it?)

=======================

HOW TO PLAY:

Play cards to influence the POWER of countries.

You first select a card then click on the zone(tile) to cast the card.

=======================

GOAL:

Keep the POWER(general strength) of all country as close as possible, otherwise a country will declare war on the weaker one.

=======================

ABOUT WAR:

Any country finds his POWER more than 2 times of its neighbour, it will prepare a war on the neighbour for 3 turns.

You must balance the POWER back in time!

After 3 turns, the war will be declared and the game is over.

=======================

ABOUT POWER CALC:

Each zone has its own POPULATION and INDUSTRY

The POWER of a country = (ALL POP * ALL INDUSTRY + EXTRA POWER) * MULTIPILER

=======================

PLAYER'S RESOURCE:

FUND will be replenished by 12M per year

AGENTS will always be full at the next turn.

INFLUENCE is a rare resource and wont be replenished 

=======================

NOTES:

- At each turn, random incidents will happen to stir things up.

- The capital always doubles the POP and INDUSTRY of the zone.

- You can switch different view to see the heat map of population, industry etc.

- War can only be declared between countries that are horizonally or vertically connected.
