In Crystal Palace, each player represents a nation at the first World's Fair, in 1851 in London. To ensure that your country becomes the center of attention, you have prepared a showcase of spectacular inventions, and recruited the most brilliant and influential minds of your time: everything is ready to showcase your homeland.

From the sacred rooms of Westminster to the dark recesses of the docks, you have pulled the strings to organize this great event in the best possible way. And it would have been very easy, if your government had given you unlimited resources. Instead, you are constantly torn between prudent investments and excessive lending.

But if you make the best choices for this World's Fair, your nation will be covered in glory at Crystal Palace.
