About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine you're in that idyllic village called Seehausen am See. The weather is wonderful, the air is fresh, but what really matters here is the money circulating during the summer festival! For three intense weeks, this village transforms into the epicenter of fun and, consequently, profit. That's where you and your rivals come in. Forget the countryside tranquility; here, we're talking pure business and high-level competition.

Your goal is simple, yet far from easy: you need to become a top-tier businessman. To win, you'll have to invest heavily in the local breweries and beer gardens, trying to ensure your money yields the maximum possible while the festival is underway. But simply throwing coins anywhere won't cut it. You'll need strategy to place trusted people in management positions within these businesses. After all, whoever is in charge of the business is the one who truly dictates the rules of profit, right?

In addition to investing in stocks, you can also focus on expanding the size of your favorite beer gardens. The larger the space, the greater the profit potential, but remember: the game doesn't end with whoever has the largest garden or who owns the biggest brewery. In the end, what will truly define the big winner is who finishes those three weeks with the largest pile of cash in their pocket. It's a game of timing, influence, and, of course, heavy financial management to avoid being swallowed by the competition during the peak of summer!
