Zero-Sum Description
ZeroSum is a complex macro-economics card game for multiple (0-5) players. Each player runs a country and sets financial priorities, which are then played out on a global stage with or against the other players. Countries without players (0-5) are simulated by the app based on strategies chosen by the user.
A valid macro-economics model underpins the game, driven by the card choices of the players. Players can also alter the economic model to suit their beliefs or preferences.
Players can choose to go for a competitive win (financial trade balance), or a "Social Contract" win (those in power are responsible for protecting those less fortunate -- low unemployment and low wealth gap), or an "Industry" win, or a "Standard of Living" win (low cost of living with high consumer spend). Is it possible to achieve more than one?
Zero-Sum can also be played as a cooperative game, to see how long the game can continue before some economy goes bust.
