What's inside?

A board, many cards, dice, tokens - and a challenging journey from employee to owning businesses, fairy-tale wealth - and achieving their dreams. You will learn to manage your accounting, record income and expenses, receive a little money to start, and try to save up initial capital. You will find out what it's like to be fired and what changes in life with the birth of a child, the dangers of a tax inspection, and how to survive a divorce... how much it resembles life, doesn't it?

Who to play as?

As a school teacher or a lawyer? Perhaps as a chef or a nurse in a private clinic? Does so much in a businessman’s life depend on the choice of profession? Where does the salary go, and what will the purchase of a car or house bring you, besides fleeting joy of owning them?

No matter what you dream of, the first thing you will face is the battle with expenses. Do you have a car? You will have to pay for its repairs. Do you have children? Even more added to the expenses. Do you have an apartment or your own house? Expenses, expenses, expenses…

Is there a way out of this vicious circle? Yes, there is - and not just one! Use the opportunities that come your way, take on side jobs. Have you managed to save some initial capital? Invest in stocks. Buy an inexpensive apartment and rent it out. Take a neglected piece of land in a good location. Finally, start your small business…

So, when the money starts to flow in - don't stop! Buy up businesses, buy and sell apartments, houses, land… increase your turnover - competitors are on your heels! Strive - and you will be rewarded!

The game is in Latvian language.
