Quick turns, big decisions
Playing Vienna is as simple as moving thinkers around the city. Seat them at the tables in your salon, and when guests share an interest, new ideas and important works of art start to take shape.
Once an idea has enough support, publish it in one of Vienna's prestigious societies, and in time you'll launch great movements that earn you prestige.
Easy to learn. Tough to master.
Hosting, sponsoring and publishing all pull at your attention. Balance them well and your salon stays a step ahead of its rivals through the city's golden age.
Publish court-sponsored ideas for a quick boost of clout, but neglect the arts and you'll fall behind. When a historic movement takes off and spreads across Europe, make sure your salon gets the credit.
Vienna, the City of Ideas
In late 19th-century Vienna, the salons and coffee houses were the city's living rooms. People from a mix of classes and backgrounds met there to talk ideas, and those conversations laid the foundation for modern society. Now it's your turn to leave a legacy and guide the City of Ideas into a new modern age.
This is a preview of a game still in development. Placeholder art is shown.
