Future Forge

Invent local pathways with emerging tech — place them on the board as the future arrives.

How it works

  1. Pick a Quest — a concrete place living a piece of a global problem.
  2. Invent on the hex board — mint emTech idea tiles, dock worlds that match, ease the crisis lights.
  3. Watch the years tick — wait and the crisis heats; predictions land on the timeline.
  4. Hold the pathway — summon the hard questions, turn lights yellow or green before the place falls.

              Invent with friends

              Solo teaches the invent loop. Friends: personal inventions, one shared place — field before the crisis wins.

              • Each person builds their own invention.
              • You share one crisis — if the place falls, everyone loses.
              • Field ideas to ease the shared crisis; rank only if the place holds.

              Create a room and share the room code plus the join address shown after create (Funnel / FF_JOIN_ORIGIN, or the same Wi‑Fi LAN URL).

              One device, take turns: personal inventions, shared crisis. Scale updates the place. No server required.

                  What kind of problem?

                  Global problems are huge. You’ll get up to four Quests — towns, clinics, districts — so invention stays real. Start with a short list, browse by shelf, or generate a new set.
