The game
Mayor of the Gulf
You have ten seasons to run Follonica's economy. Each season, invest six points across tourism, heritage, nature and the off-season. Keep the treasury full, the coast healthy and the residents happy — the final score rewards balance, not greed.
How to play
- Invest 6 points each season using the + / − steppers, then press Advance the season.
- 🏖️ Tourism earns the most money fastest, but wears down the environment and the community if you lean on it too hard.
- 🏛️ Heritage and 📅 Off-season give steadier income and keep residents happy.
- 🌲 Nature earns little directly but rebuilds the environment — which quietly boosts all future revenue.
- A random event hits every season. Some reward the way you've invested; some punish a tired coast.
- After ten seasons you get a score out of 100, weighing money, environment, community and prosperity together.
The game is a playful model of the real trade-off described on the Future page — not an economic forecast. Chase pure tourism and watch what happens to the Gulf.
