Articles: strategy, networks and the making of Packet Dominance

This section brings together in-depth articles about Packet Dominance, the free strategy game in which you build the Internet's infrastructure: fiber cables, datacenters, digital services and ad networks.

You will find presentations of the game, explanations of its mechanics and of the real infrastructure that inspires them, as well as the design choices of its creator, Benjamin Vincent (about). The figures quoted come from the game engine and are checked against its code; when a rule changes, the article is corrected.

To begin, the introductory article covers the whole game, from the first fiber to the Exchange. For the details of each system, see the game in detail. A question, a mistake spotted or a topic to suggest? The discussion continues on the Discord server of the "Le Repère du GeeK Forcené" community.
