Startup board game

Yesterday I had guests and we sat so well that we even had time to play a board "Startup", which is more than that. 10 years ago invented Mosigra and Habra guys. This game is about a small IT business, when you create your own studio, recruit a team, commit to its IT projects. In the game, you need to be able to assess labor costs, work with risks, negotiate, recruit and reduce a team, meet deadlines ... in general, everything is very similar to work:) The mechanics in the game are pretty simple:

• No cubes and giant variance.
• eat everything. 3 Type of maps: projects, opportunities, incidents Projects have several parameters: the timing in which they need to be done, the complexity in the form of 4 type (management, development, design, content), the ability to add features after the end, and the amount of money that brings the project (one-time)
• There are opportunities. 2 This is either the ability to withdraw an employee of a certain kind or instead play the option of “recycling”, “Easter egg”, “hunting an employee with a neighbor” or “creating a feature” to expand one of the projects. Incident maps bring randomness to this game, as they can lead to a “jump in the exchange rate”, “the arrival of the tax”, “the failure of iron” with which the backup can help, and so on. Each move, players can play a project, withdraw a new employee, work on projects, and then pay off the team and only then get money for completed projects - this sometimes leads to a cash gap, when you have to reduce part of the team without paying PP, as happens in startups.

As a result, this game is really exciting and allows you to have a cool time.
