Pax Transhumanity (Board Game)

What if the future is non-dystopian? No pandemic, zombies, or post-apocalyptic rubble? Imagine instead a future in which humanity explores the fringes of the achievable, in which scientists and technocrats rewrite the human condition by expanding into new spheres — the developing world, the cloud, and space. Win by solving humanitarian problems, demolishing societal and technological barriers, and guiding human progress towards a future of your design.

How to play?
As a startup entrepreneur in the not-too-distant future, you make your living by offering new ideas and visions. The position and number of financial agents on your finance board track your financial resources. Move these agents within your finance board to generate money, or move them from the finance board as employees, patents, and syndications. You have two actions each turn, which can include syndicating ideas in the market to gain their special abilities, commercializing previously syndicated ideas to startup companies or solving problems, hiring employees, importing idea cards from one Sphere (column) to another, placating outraged activists, and researching columns of ideas in order to gain patents and reveal new ideas.
