They took advantage of this time to sit down together and design their own board game, something they had often planned to do. The StartUp board game teaches business and math skills and models many real business situations, such as the value of investing, the risks and rewards of business opportunities, and the trade-offs in a Capital Opportunity or an IPO. Each company must build Expertise to increase its chances for success and value in an Initial Public Offering. Navigating lawsuits, price wars, and shock cards is all part of the challenge. The game is intended for family play, as well as school curriculums from elementary through MBA. The game is as challenging as your opponent and scales to any age or ability.
