About the game
Based on the hit reality television show about pitching business ideas to big name investors for a chance to score real success. In this home version, the player with the largest net worth after six company pitches wins! Players take turns being the Entrepreneur, taking a pitch out of a large deck of theoretical products and selling it to their friends the best they can. Their friends bid, or don't, and if one wins, they get to back the company and get any rewards associated with it. Get bonus money for backing projects that match your investor's area of expertise. Caveat: The rules say this requires a die, specifically a d3 of colors, but one is not included. Most homes can easily use a d6 and designate two numbers each for the three colors, though.
