20th Century
In the 20th Century, every country strives to develop and improve, each in its own way. Some become financial leaders. Others become centers of learning. Both science and commerce serve to propel nations toward the future – but toward what kind of future? Growth produces waste, and the greatest advances may come with the greatest cost to the environment. How will these countries mitigate the inevitable ecological catastrophes?
What is 20th Century
In the 20th Century, every country strives to develop and improve, each in its own way. Some become financial leaders. Others become centers of learning. Both science and commerce serve to propel nations toward the future – but toward what kind of future? Growth produces waste, and the greatest advances may come with the greatest cost to the environment. How will these countries mitigate the inevitable ecological catastrophes?
Your goal is to build a land free of garbage and pollution – a land where the environment is as healthy as the economy. Only then can you consider your country to be truly developed.
The game consists of six rounds, during which you oversee the urbanization of your country. Some lands produce income. Some produce scientific research. Others improve the quality of life. Your research allows you to discover new technologies that will shape the way your nation develops. Science can even help you avert ecological catastrophes. At the end of each round, your lands provide you the money and research that you will need to deal with the challenges of the next round.
You accumulate points each round, based on your nation’s quality of life. At the end of rounds two and four, you also score bonus points for certain aspects of your country’s development. At the end of round six, you will score bonus points based on your country’s income, research, and environmental quality. The player with the most points wins, having built the country with the highest standard of living.

What the community says about 20th Century
Buen juego de subastas y organizacion de losetas (tipo carcassone pero de forma individual) conectando ciudades con vias de tren. Tienes que gestionar las conexiones entre ciudades, la salubridad, polución y control de residuos de las mismas, para conseguir puntos de victoria, lo de la basura y reciclarla es un puntazo jejeje, mejor con 4 o 5, aunque hay reglas especiales para 3 e incluso no oficiales para 2, pero a falta de probarlo, la parte de subastas perderá muchísimo
Un juego bastante solido de Vladimir Suchy, el del shipyard. En el juego tratamos de construir un país libre de basura y polución y que sea fuerte en desarrollo económico, científico y en sanidad. El juego es un batiburrillo de mecánicas que parecen estar bien implementadas, hay distintos tipos de subastas, compras y colocación de Tiles para ir construyendo nuestro país. Un juego bastante correcto y entretenido, mas corto de lo que pone en la caja y con unos componentes y un diseño muy conseguido. El desarrollo y la mecánica es muy táctica, ya que nos planificamos turno a turno dependiendo
