The card game for future founders. Build your tech startup to an exit valuation of a million dollars! Put together a top team and outsmart the competition in this fast-paced game of company building and industrial sabotage. The game is composed of a double-deck of 108 cards. You start the game with a COMPANY CARD and a FOUNDING TEAM of 2 members. Expand your team by getting investors on board, hiring tech savvy programmers, operations staff to run your business and marketing professionals to find customers. As your team grows, you COMPANY VALUE will grow too. But you will need to be careful how you spend your money or you'll be back looking for more investors! Some cards combine better with others. You don't need a large team, just a few people that work well together. You can also play ADVANTAGES to further your business or SABOTAGE cards to damage your opponents. Each turn you: PLAY A CARD. Placing it in front of you or in front of an opponent. DISCARD A CARD. Opportunities don't hang around forever. DRAW TWO CARDS. Always keeping 4 cards in the hand at the end of the turn. The first player whose company reaches 1 MILLION DOLLAR valuation and has a team member of EACH TYPE can then shout "UNICORN!" to win the game. -description from the designer
