Let me know if you give Nature a try. It’s a much more refined game, playing well at any player count from 2-4.

The illustration is done. Now we’re working on a functional and aesthetic graphic design for the track.

There were only 5 games being played and two of them were yours.

These are some of the stragglers finishing up the route.

Nice! That makes me happy to hear. It was also my first game at PAXU this morning….

(and my second and my third and my fourth…)

Agreed. It made for a fun walk to the convention center.

There is no money in the game. It's a press your luck game where everyone plays at the same time, and everyone chooses when to sell out. The points may be called dollars, but there isn't a way to spend the money. There is no investing. Everyone is in the same boat until they decide to sell.

No, the government assistance cards will have a card back with light line drawing about some of histories biggest corporate bailouts.

Yeah, it's a core part of the game. Players who bust get a government assistance card. Would it read better if they were corporate bailout cards?
November 14, 2025 at 3:29 PM
Yeah, it's a tongue in cheek poke at corporate bailouts.

How is the tone? Does it sound fun or does it make you vomit on your mousepad?
November 14, 2025 at 4:27 AM
Nope. That’s just window dressing. 🙂

Or sometimes, when the stars align, they stumble upon world-changing inventions and get remembered as the Brilliant Misfits they were born to be!

Sell Out before the company busts and walk away with well-earned cash—a wise decision my prudent inventor! Deluded Dreamers who believe the hype end up on government assistance...
