Fictional currency, always
€2,000 in play money to start, never a real euro to stake, win, or withdraw. Purchases (StoreKit, handled by Apple) are for a comfort currency, écus, never for shares or a head start.

The idea, in one line
- 1
Pick your towns
All 35,000 towns of France each have a price that moves with real life: a strike, a heatwave, a match, a festival. Spot the ones you like, search by name, department, or ticker (PAR, LYON…).
- 2
Build your board
The more you invest in a town, the more floors your piece gets, like a board game: €100, €300, €600, €1,000. The board shows the real France, department by department: yours in gold, rivals in violet. Tap a department to zoom into its towns.
- 3
Become mayor
Whoever holds the most shares of a town becomes its Mayor: a sash on the town page, your nickname on display, daily rent collected. Get dethroned, take it back — 3 mayorships already earns “Local elect”.

Leagues and Flair
Every week, 30 players compete on % gain, across six divisions from Bronze to Legend. In between, answer Flair predictions (“Will Lyon drop more than 1% in the next 30 minutes?”) for XP and a streak to keep.
The app, as it is
Seven real screens, taken from the game: no mockups.
The Towns tab: your board, your treasury, the pulse of France. 
The board: the real departments, yours in gold. 
A town page: price, chart, your piece, your floor. 
A department opened up: its towns, its filters, its mayorships to take. 
The monthly season: your fortune, the daily crown, your inheritance. 
A station: its toll, its network, and the buyback at +50%. 
Chill mode: collect all 96 départements, at your own pace.
A game that makes you want to come back
A season every month, stations to conquer, a chill mode to breathe: all on fictional currency.
The monthly season
On the 1st of every month, all of France is up for grabs. Richest at the end wins, and you keep part of your gains for next month: your inheritance. Every day, the daily crown rewards the best gain in %.
Train stations
22 real stations in 4 networks, auctioned on the 1st of the month. Each pays a daily toll, up to ×5 for a complete network. Anyone can buy yours back at +50 %, and a strike cuts the toll.
Chill mode
Your own France, never reset, no rankings: collect all 96 départements, a travel log every week, your personal records. For a relaxed game.
Town mayor
The most shares on a town makes you its Mayor: flag planted, rent doubled, titles to collect. Who’s after your town, who’s right behind you: it’s all on the town page.
Leagues and predictions
30 players per league, six divisions from Bronze to Legend. In between, quick predictions on the news for XP, never real money at stake.
Chest, missions, badges
A chest every day, daily missions and badges. None of it is for sale: all of it is earned by playing.
Nothing here makes you win
Towndom’s golden rule: what’s for sale is cosmetic, what’s earned is earned by playing. Your rank depends only on your choices.
Cosmetic or free
Pieces, flags, boards, frames: everything for sale is an appearance, and everything for sale can also be earned by playing, just more slowly. The no-ads pass is the only paid comfort.
Rewarded ads, always optional
Never interstitial, never on launch, never during a purchase. An optional ad can double the daily chest or save a streak — always capped, always clearly labelled.
No paid randomness
No loot boxes, no guilt-tripping countdown, real euro prices shown before every purchase. Rivals’ pieces stay violet on the board: only yours change appearance.
After France
Belgium and Germany are coming soon, each with their own board.
