World Capital Contests

World Capital Contests (sometimes referred to as World Architecture Contests) are occasional tournaments Bad Luck Games releases, inspired by the Social Quantum releases within Megapolis of the same name.

There are currently no released World Capital Contests for Ultrapolis; however, the fourteen releases from Megapolis will be reciprocated in Ultrapolis. The Through the Ages World Capital Contest is currently in development and is set to debut as Ultrapolis 's first gamepack release.

Because Ultrapolis is a card game based on Megapolis, the rules differ greatly between the two otherwise quite similar contests. In Ultrapolis, World Capital Contests play out like tournaments. Each player will be given two identical decks of cards: one of Buildings, one of Materials, and a massive sum of money. Each game played will be done in a duration of 50 turns. Players have only this amount of time to attain as many Capital Points as possible. Upon the end of the 50th turn, players total their sums and a winner is determined.

The winner of each game will battle another winner in a second game, across eight games, until only one winner remains. First place will receive the grand prize and all preceding prizes. Second place will receive the next prize down and all preceding prizes, and so on. All players in attendance will receive a not-very-valuable Participation Prize.

Players are only allowed to use the cards available to them in their decks; they may not use any outsider cards except Resource Buildings if the rules permit them to do so (i.e. the deck itself does not include Resource Buildings already).
