Gründerzeit 1881

Gründerzeit 1881 is a strategic economic game for 1–4 players set in the German Industrial Revolution. Step into the shoes of legendary entrepreneurs like Berta Benz, Werner von Siemens, Alfred Krupp, Emil Rathenau, Margarete Steiff, Ernst Abbe, or Therese Wagner — and build a thriving industrial empire. But profit alone won’t win the game. You must balance economic growth with worker safety, accident prevention, and social responsibility. Only those who invest wisely across all three pillars — workforce, technology, and safety measures — will be remembered as visionary industrialists. Neglect your workers, and fines, accidents, and unrest will bring your empire to its knees.
