An economic card game of buying and selling shares and companies, heir to the 18xx tradition but with no map or track: the “network” is modelled as synergies between adjacent companies within a corporation.
Players act as investors: they buy companies at auction, turn them into corporations through an initial public offering (IPO) or sell them as subsidiaries. Whoever holds the majority stake controls the corporation. It is, in essence, a simulation of capital markets and corporate finance.
Classroom value

- Lets students experience first-hand why a share price moves and how majority control affects decisions.
- Exercises valuation and investment decision-making in a competitive environment with partial information.
- Simpler rules than the classic 18xx games but with comparable financial depth.
