So you’re a tech company. You start with a few eng and a monolith, which comes out of the box with tech debt (yer welcome) and a bunch of requirements to work on. Completing requirements earns revenue, revenue lets you raise funding, and funding lets you hire engineers, who produce more work and can support more systems. Let tech debt pile up or morale slide, and your engineers get less done, or quit. Once someone IPOs, a clock starts and the highest valuation wins. Or you can win via the AI Race ;)
When you open the app, there are a few modes of play. A tutorial, a bot, an ‘arena’/play online mode, and a pass n’ play option. The bot is pretty overpowered. Playing online allows ranked play against random folks or creating a room for playing with friends. If you sign in with an email address I also added the ability to hook up agents over MCP for ranked agent play.
Some background: I’ve been an engineer in the tech sector for a long time now. I wanted to create something that was a bit tongue-in-cheek about the silly things we say (YAGNI, KISS) and do at companies, and the shitty things that happen at corporations (layoffs). I also wanted to create something complex enough to allow for strategizing like in some of my favorite games. This game is inspired by lichess, Monopoly, MTG, Wingspan, Twilight Struggle, Slay the Spire, Balatro, and others I’ve played over the years.
Enjoy! And if you have feedback it’s most appreciated (report a bug in menu)
