How trade, diffusion, and the movement of crops and ideas reshape places over time.
Plant Old and New World ingredients across 14 regions and watch them diffuse along trade routes — slowed by climate zones and by the Manila Galleon's long Pacific crossing — until regional dishes light up.
Games on cultural patterns and the spatial diffusion of ideas are in development.
How zoning, redevelopment, and gentrification reshape a neighborhood — and who gets a say.
You're on the city council and a neighborhood is up for redevelopment. Toggle ordinances, watch seven stakeholder groups react, and balance the budget. Day 4 of a four-day simulation — or a stand-alone activity.
Games on urban models, housing markets, and global cities are in development.
How wealth, technology and opportunity spread unevenly across a connected world — and who gets reached last.

Launch innovations into the world city network and watch hierarchical diffusion carry them down the ranks — then find out which ones ever cross the last mile to the countryside. A deliberate mirror of The Columbian Exchange: same board, opposite rule.
Games on commodity chains, core–periphery relationships, and measures of development are in development.
