How would you manage an international corporation in 2050? Manipulate the other players' decisions and find out how your corporation can be successful! Outpace your opponents with smart investments in sustainability projects and PR campaigns.

You should always keep an eye on your finances. Only with enough cash at hand can you invest in interesting projects or pay dividends to your shareholders. Forge alliances and increase your income by cooperating or sue your competitors for some fresh cash. Can you meet your short-term needs and still follow your long-term goals?

Objective
The player with most victory points wins the game. In 10 rounds players invest in project and action cards, in PR campaigns and pay dividends to their shareholders.

Additional victory points are awarded to all players for their respective weakest sustainability category, to the players with the best reputation in the PR assessment, and for the most profitable company in the company evaluation assessment.

This is what other players think about GREEN DEAL:

• “Green Deal is challenging, in that it makes you try to keep a balance between various things, such as your income, PR points, and the hatred of your friends when you steal the card they wanted.” Xanto
• “Very nice game of compromises with several different game mechanics interweaving seamlessly.” Vamlaver
• “Together with the action cards that give permanent bonuses, you have, literally, 20 different strategies to win the game.” Adriano

This first edition is available here at an exclusive price of up to 11 EUR (30%) below the future price of 39 EUR!

GREEN DEAL is suited for strategy gamers as well as for occasional gamers

The main target group of GREEN DEAL are board game players that love strategy games:

• There is no luck factor. Since there are no dice and drawing cards, the game result depends on your own decisions.

Also Casual Gamers enjoy GREEN DEAL

• You can start playing right away and learn the mechanics while playing. With all rounds having the the same phases, you quickly understand how the game works. Wrong decisions during the first rounds can always be made up for later on.[*]GREEN DEAL is very interactive. You try to predict the moves of your competitors because their moves influence your own strategy in the auction and PR campaigns. You will use witty arguments to persuade other players to make choices that benefit yourself.

Sponsors

Fun
In GREEN DEAL it is up to you how to lead your corporation of the future. Take a look behind the scenes and understand the strategic decision-making in corporations. Would you rather donate to charity and environmental projects or invest in PR campaigns to achieve a green image? Or are you all about profit? It is also important to accurately assess your opponents: will they cooperate or play competitively?

Interaction and Replayability
Despite not being too complex for casual gamers, GREEN DEAL still has a high replayability for strategy gamers. There is no single strategy to win. It is astonishing to see the many different strategies that lead to players winning. It is often surprising how close players score despite their very different strategies. This is due to the high interaction and interwoven mechanisms, the variety of balanced possibilities and the different action cards that make each game unique. Only those who are able to perfectly adjust their strategy to the actions of their opponents can win in GREEN DEAL.

Moderate playing time
Despite the strategic depth the playing time is only about 90 minutes. So there is no need to schedule the whole weekend for a game session :)

Balanced cards and mechanisms
GREEN DEAL has been developed and improved for about 3 years in more than 400 game sessions. More than 500 playtesters have played GREEN DEAL and their creative ideas and valuable feedback helped to balance the game that well. Several experienced and established game designers like Bernd Eisenstein, Hartmut Kommerell, Peer Sylvester, Christwart Conrad and Till Meyer contributed to the development with their feedback.

100% Bilingual
GREEN DEAL is completely bilingual (English and German)! All cards feature English text on the front and German text on the back. So you can play it with both your international and German friends. Therefore, GREEN DEAL contributes to international understanding and world peace :)
