DRCongo - Hope out of Horror

The game explores a hopeful hypothesis that if enlightened industrialists worked to develop the economy of this mighty country then it would escape the clutches of a crippling insurgency. Players build industries and expand a transport net-work of river, rail and roads. Oil, minerals and crops are produced and if sold via the Atlantic port of Matadi will reap rich reward. Players develop their own cities and Hydro-electricity can be sold to these. The game is built in four game layers with layer two introducing Insurgents and Peace-keepers, layer three the Government and layer four strategic interventions by other countries.
