Incorporated

About this board game

Incorporated is a strategy game of economic warfare for 2–4 players, with an approximate play time of 180 minutes. Released in 2016, it places each player in the role of a CEO leading a multinational corporation in a complex, constantly changing global economy.

Your goal is to profit no matter the cost. Acquire smaller corporations through global stock markets, borrow from debt markets to finance investments, and compete with rival mega-corporations for leadership in market share. Every decision takes place against a backdrop of shifting industries, interest rates, global growth, and geopolitical power.

Economic influence extends beyond the markets. Players can use superpowers as pawns to invade third world countries and take their oil, while lobbying governments for increased subsidies. The world’s superpowers may be engaged in a struggle for dominance, but their actions matter to you primarily when they affect your profits and investments.

• Acquire smaller corporations in global stock markets.
• Use debt markets to finance investments.
• Lobby governments for subsidies.
• Compete for leadership in market share.
• React to economic crises and geopolitical power shifts.

The global economy in Incorporated is not stable or predictable. A sudden economic crisis or a change in geopolitical power can damage investments, forcing you to analyze emerging trends and influence the world around you. Profitable industries and financial conditions continually change, keeping the path to corporate dominance uncertain.

With its focus on markets, politics, international power, and corporate competition, Incorporated presents a detailed simulation of modern-day economics. Success depends on recognizing opportunities, managing financial exposure, and staying profitable while the world’s economic and political landscape shifts.
