A simple, fast and very intelligent game. You should invest in companies, but you need to be careful not to invest too much in one or invest not so much in several. At the end of the round, whoever has the most cards from each company will receive payment from their opponents for each card they have from the same company. As part of the game is exposed and part is hidden, there is always an atmosphere of what could happen, as the game can turn around at the end of the round in a very interesting way. I thought it was very good!

Für diese Boxgröße und Simplizität seines Zuges, gibt es echt sehr coole Entscheidungen. Karten ziehen und Spielen, so könnte man das sehen. 3-5 Spieler wahrscheinlich die optimale Spielerinnenanzahl, da es sonst zu lange dauert und man zu wenig Kontrolle über die Firmen hat.

I like the risk of trying to race in a suit. Not sure if it works that well with euro types, they feel turned off by being punished for half-effort (so I emphasize that each card usually costs a coin). Players can delay the game by picking up and dropping one card, but then they're not developing a tableau. I like that the game develops depending on how everyone plays, if a suit is obviously bad then it'll become safe for that one player. My sister once said, "weird, it feels like I'm actually learning something about investing here." Which may be the slight downfall, so many eurogamers expect to be rewarded for doing anything at all. Probably works better without them anyway.

Startups is the perfect 10 minute card game. You are constantly watching your opponents and trying to figure out what is in their hand. The luck of the draw works well in a game this short. You're either excited you picked up the perfect card or frustrated you picked up a useless one. There are super clever game mechanics in here. From the monopoly tokens to the differing card rarity to the hidden hand of cards you lay down at the end. It all adds up to a super tense, push your luck game.

Incredibly smart investment game. Does away with the complex math most investment games want you to do and focuses you on how exposed your position is. Brilliant, fast, easy to teach. Always tense and yet always a laugh. Even after dozens and dozens of games I find it challenging and interesting to try and read the intentions and bluffs of other players. You can't ask for more from any game, let alone one in such a clever and compact package.
