Creators of Shanghai

In this game, you will play as an official in the Shanghai Planning Office, responsible for one of the four available ministries governing the urban centre. Your goal is to develop the city of Shanghai. As you play, shocks and stresses will affect the city, and you and your teammates must build resilience to prevent its decay. The game must be played by 4 people, since each ministry is essential. Every round represents 5 years. In a round, all four players can buy cards, implement solutions through measures taken, and mitigate the effects of shocks and stresses. Each round a shock strikes the city by chance, so you must be prepared.

Solar flares in Shanghai

Space weather, specifically Solar super storms can wreak havoc on modern infrastructure. The impacts of the resulting geomagnetic superstorms are known in the electrical engineering community, but have since their discovery been systematically underestimated for equatorial latitudes. New insights imply the risk and impact on these regions are equal to the impact in polar regions and consist of; ionosphere saturation and geomagnetic fluctuations. These, when poorly managed or unexpected, will lead to loss of wireless communication capabilities and a breakdown of the power grid. These impacts and their planned preventions, as well as possible complications via cascading failure are laid out in this paper. In conclusion, very little can be said about Shanghai as the information is seen as of strategically value and thus is kept confidential. Initial damaged are partially avoidable, but long term impact will be unprecedented in the modern world.
