About this game

This vindictively fun game is ostensibly about gaining control of businesses, which are represented by cards. Every turn, each player gains income from companies where he has the most boardmembers, then rolls three dice and uses them for various purposes: bringing a new business into the game, adding boardmembers to existing businesses, or drawing new cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
