€uro Crisis

What to Expect

In €uro Crisis, players take on the roles of banks during the European financial crisis. Over three years divided into four quarters each, all players simultaneously choose actions such as borrowing, lending, and lobbying. You can buy gold and weapons to bid on privatizations and defend your interests. The game blends tactical economic play with satirical social commentary and high player interaction.

Who Is This Game For?

€uro Crisis targets experienced players aged 14 and up who enjoy economic and political themes. With a duration of about 90 minutes, it requires strategic thinking and patience. Prior experience with economic games is beneficial due to auction and simultaneous action selection mechanics.

How It Works

The game uses simultaneous action selection where all players choose their moves each quarter at the same time. You borrow money from the ECB to lend to struggling states, earning interest. Auctions let you bid for state assets with gold, while weapons protect your holdings or sabotage others. Lobbying influences government reforms. The game features sudden death endings triggered by specific conditions.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Galgor, €uro Crisis combines auction/bidding, simulation, and political satire. It stands out by merging economic simulation with simultaneous action choices. Though it has no awards, it uniquely reflects the Eurozone crisis through gameplay.
