Planet Flipper

Planet Flipper is a turn-based planet management simulation about maximizing profit before a civilization collapses. From a room of monitors, you approve programs and manipulate systems while population, resources, peace and volatility change each turn, even if you take no action. You are an investor, not a ruler, and the market rewards instability.

Manage a fragile system

The simulation models economic and social conditions through supply ratios, unrest and the probability of collapse. Shortages build toward famine, while fractures in stability can trigger conflict. Technology advances through unrest, and disasters can create opportunities. As volatility rises, the planet becomes more unpredictable and dangerous, but also more profitable.

There is no map or units: the planet is represented through numbers and shifting probabilities. You can fund programs that alter the system, including expanding agriculture, manipulating infrastructure, and regulating or deregulating. You decide whether to stabilize the planet for long-term extraction or let it deteriorate and push it harder.

Extract and sell

Your income increases as the system changes. The goal is to extract as much value as possible and sell the planet before total collapse, timing the sale before it implodes.
