Limit is a competitive strategy game where you play as a Nation facing the challenges of our world.

Balance growth and resilience to build a prosperous society. The game takes place in a maximum of 7 generations. However, the end of the game can come before if you and your opponents trigger at least 4 global crises. A generation is made up of 3 phases: The Political phase: you make decisions The Social phase: your Nation reacts to these decisions The International phase: crises arise and alliances are formed End of the Game: Before counting your points, you must test the resilience of your Nation for future generations. Redo the Food, Consumption and Production stages of the Social phase with the effects of shortages but without new crises. The Nation with the highest score wins the game.

The catalogue lists Limit for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
