A downloadable card game

Become the world's first trillionaire by exploiting businesses and corrupting public goods in this brand new CARD GAME!

Start as a mere billionaire and race to amass a TRILLION dollars before your opponents. Draft exploitative businesses, strategically corrupt public institutions, and watch your money pile grow with each passing year. Just remember: the road to becoming a trillionaire is paved with eroded public goods!

Features:

  • Fast-paced gameplay (10-15 minutes)
  • Simple rules with devious strategic depth (complexity 2/5)
  • Satisfyingly corrupt decisions with real consequences
  • Perfect for 2-4 aspiring oligarchs (ages 10+)
  • Dark humor wrapped in a cheerful educational package

Mechanics:

  • A Communal Engine - "I just corrupted the Market , but you benefit too, what the?!!!"
  • Increasing Payout - "Now that I've corrupted the Market, my MegaMerge Capital pays out 50 Billion!"
  • Classic Drafting - choose the Opportunities and Exploitations that benefit your strategy, or just aim to frustrate your opponents
  • Poker Chips as Payouts - keeps money management simple with just four denominations - 5 Billion, 10 Billion, 25 Billion, 50 Billion

Will you focus on environmental exploitation, labor manipulation, privacy invasion, market monopolization, or media control? Mix and match your evil empire while keeping an eye on your opponents' strategies.

Downloads includes:

  • Print-and-play card files (7 pages with 9 cards per page)
    • Available without card backs, or with card backs depending on your preferences
  • Full rulebook
  • Optional "Opportunity Cards" expansion for experienced players

The system is rigged. The game is afoot. The billions await.

Because remember kids, it's not "destroying society" – it's "optimizing shareholder value"!
