The Battle of Polytopia
Turn-based 4X-lite—tight matches and simple inputs make it a natural fit for Tesla; more modes at home.
Polytopia compresses 4X strategy into bite-sized matches. Explore, expand, exploit, exterminate—each turn is quick, which makes it a comfy fit in-car. At home you unlock richer tribe selections and proper online lobbies.
