Ever dreamed of being that visionary investor who bets on the next big company that will change the world? In Startups, that's exactly what you do! The game puts you and your friends in the shoes of financial sharks, trying to identify which of the six startup companies are about to take off. The goal is simple, but the execution is pure tension: you want to be the largest shareholder of each company, because only the one with the majority stake can cash out the profits at the end.

But don't think it's all about luck. To win, you need a sharp instinct. With three hidden cards in your hand and your capital, you must analyze every move your rivals make. Is that friend of yours trying to monopolize the tech firm, or are they just bluffing? The game blends investment strategy with the adrenaline of trying to predict your opponent's next move. It's the kind of game where you need caution, but also the courage to invest heavily at the perfect moment.

One of the coolest things is how versatile the game is. It works well with a small group, but it truly shines when the table is full, turning the fight for shares into a piece of organized chaos. Additionally, the current version introduces improvements like the 'market' dynamics and the 'Anti-Monopoly Chip', which add layers of depth without making the rules complicated. If you enjoy fast-paced games that require you to read the table and play your opponents' minds, Startups is the right bet. Also, it's worth checking out the company logos — they were designed by a famous Japanese typographer and add a special charm to the experience. Ready to invest?
