Zero Sum Future

Zero Sum Future is a competitive multiplayer colony-building simulator for four players. You explore procedurally generated worlds across a solar system, develop colonies and build an economic empire while competing to drive your opponents out of the game.

Build your empire

Each game offers different worlds to explore. Choose from 29 buildings to develop them, expand your empire, trade with local populations and amass a fortune.

Compete for control

The game is designed as a four-player free-for-all in which only one player wins. You compete for the best plots of land, can steal opponents’ buildings and can push them out of the market by trading goods at a greater volume. When an opponent runs out of cash and leaves the game, you can add the ruins of their empire to your own.

Use illegal buildings

Some buildings have illegal variants that break the rules and give their owner a major advantage. For example, a regular Hospital attracts injured people and makes a clean profit, while an illegal Hospital kills its patients and transfers their money to your bank account. Winning means sneaking illegal buildings into your empire and spotting those your opponents have placed.

Shape your colonies

You can replace some of your human workforce with robots, feed colonists junk food so that more develop heart conditions and visit hospitals, or bribe the central government to restrict trade on a planet to you. You can also establish a workforce planet with poor living conditions and cheap labor.
