Attention, capital, and public support — the three resources you manage under pressure. End turn refills AP only; every spend has a tradeoff.

Tutorial, then layers.
Start with the quiet tutorial — invent · challenge · field. When you’re ready for the full cockpit, the Workshop clips add complexity one system at a time. Concepts and illustrations live on the main Future Forge page.
The loop
How you play
- Invent — Stack emerging tech and write how the solution works for a real problem.
- Challenge — Answer one hard question about your idea.
- Field — Put it into the world before the crisis wins.
Start with Play tutorial — a quieter first invent win. Workshop is the full game when you’re ready. After the walkthrough, open the layered complexity clips.
After the tutorial
Workshop layers
Once you’ve seen invent · challenge · field in the quiet first run, Workshop turns the cockpit on — resources, timing choices, a richer story, harder scrutiny, and staged fielding. These short clips layer that complexity on, one system at a time.
End turn advances the crisis year by one and refreshes attention. Wait jumps +2 years — tech matures, but meters climb harder. Timing is a strategic choice, not a free pass.
Two faces — How it works and Everyday life — the mechanism and the human picture. Write either one yourself, then let the AI co-inventor draft the other. You still lead; the partner fills the blank so inventing is easier.
One hard question under a critic’s pressure. Choose Defend, Fix, or Sidestep — then earn the right to field.
Fielding is staged: first a local Pilot, then wider Scale, then a new normal — full or partial. The world only shifts when you ship stages.
