Development Level: Nearly ReadyStyle: Complex

Length: 2
Players: 3-4
Using a primary mechanic of action selection with following, and asynchronous progression of play, Progress & the Nation is an economic civilization builder with no player elimination. player turns are very short, down time is minimal, and a lot of hidden information makes it difficult to tell who is winning. You as the administrator direct bureaucrats to mobilize population, which in turn builds the nation. Use multiple currencies to acquire and develop territory, expand technology, upgrade population, and meet concealed goals. this is a point salad; most victory points wins the game. All players can end play in an orderly manner, even if someone else triggers end-of-game conditions.
