Commie Block

Commie Block is a resource-management city builder about running a block of land under a communist regime known as the glorious motherland. You construct buildings, assign workers and manage production to meet the regime’s demands, with the goal of surviving as long as possible.

Build and manage

Resource-generating buildings produce resources that you can use in other buildings to make advanced resources or contribute to production quotas. Buildings need basic or specialized workers, such as scientists, to operate, so assigning your workforce carefully is central to keeping the block productive. You place building plans across procedurally generated blocks and balance short- and long-term gains from your workers’ assignments.

Meet the quotas

The regime sets minimum resource quotas that must be met within an allocated time. The required resources change and increase with each quota, creating escalating demands. Missing a quota is treated as high treason and punished by defenestration, though you can report falsified inventory numbers or blame others when meeting the full quota is not possible. Rampant corruption is another feature you can take advantage of.

Research production

Completing each quota earns science points, which you can spend on research. Upgrades can make production cycles more efficient or provide new ways to handle your assignments, helping you cope with demands that may be beyond the capabilities of an ordinary block manager.
