Heute ein Schneidebrett. Morgen ein Imperium. Irgendwann ein Problem für die Raumzeit. Willkommen bei Schwartenimperium – dem absurden Aufbauspiel, in dem aus einem Stück Schweinehaut ein Unternehmen mit bedenklich großen Plänen wird. Du beginnst mit ein paar Schnitten, stellst deine erste Fachkraft ein und lässt die Produktion wachsen. Schon bald beschäftigst du dich mit Forschung, Expeditionen und der Frage, ob dein Betrieb wirklich eine Orbital-Schneiderei braucht. Die Antwort lautet selbstverständlich: ja. DEIN IMPERIUM, DEINE ENTSCHEIDUNGEN • Baue 23 Produktionsarten auf – von der Schwarten-Fachkraft bis zu Maschinen, die der Realität Vorschläge machen. • Veredle deine Schwarte und bringe Produktion, Vorräte und Verkaufspreise ins Gleichgewicht. • Erforsche Verbesserungen und verwirkliche 24 zunehmend größenwahnsinnige Großprojekte. • Schicke Expeditionen los und sammle zwölf seltene Schwarten-Spezialitäten mit dauerhaften Boni. • Erfülle Aufträge, wähle deine Betriebsstrategie und entscheide über herrlich absurde Vorlagen für die Geschäftsführung. • Eröffne bis zu 30 Filialen, ohne deinen bisherigen Betrieb zurückzusetzen. • Sammle 22 Auszeichnungen. Irgendjemand muss diesen Größenwahn schließlich würdigen. DEIN BETRIEB MACHT WEITER Auch während deiner Abwesenheit wird weiterproduziert. Laufende Forschungen, Projekte und Expeditionen schreiten offline voran. Abholbereite Belohnungen warten auf dich – ohne Verfallsdatum und ohne Zwang zu täglichen Besuchen. KEINE WERBUNG. KEINE IN-APP-KÄUFE. Keine Werbeunterbrechungen und keine bezahlte Beschleunigung. Dein Imperium wächst durch deine Entscheidungen und mit der Zeit. Die langfristige Kampagne begleitet dich weit über einen kurzen Spieleabend hinaus. Für iPhone und iPad. Spielbar auf Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch und Thai. Keine Eile. Nur Schwarte.
