About This Game
A satirical business game where everyone acts at once. Build your company, sue your neighbours, hide the money offshore, and offer world-class parental leave, or slash it for profit. Richest CEO after three fiscal years wins. By brilliance if you can. By dirty tricks if you must.
Detailed Description
THE HOUR OF RECKONING IS COMING.
Ruthless Returns is a satirical business board game where ALL players act simultaneously, every single round. No downtime. No mercy.
PICK ONE CARD. PASS THE REST. Each fiscal year you get a hand of 8 cards, 7 Wonders-style. Hire lawyers, launch shitstorms, plant shady evidence, poach your neighbour's star employee, or just quietly build the best product on the market. Every path can win.
THE COURTROOM IS THE EXECUTIONER. Lawsuits resolve at year-end in a courtroom ceremony with verdicts, gold and blood. Nine out of ten bankruptcies follow a lost case. Two merciless commentators cover the bankruptcies live.
SATIRE WITH TEETH. Offshore accounts, greenwashing, spin doctors, lobbyists and a board of directors with demands. The Panama Papers universe, except this time it's the people at your table doing the scheming.
