In Greed We Trust: A Satirical Game of Pitching

In Greed We Trust is a fast-paced party card game where players invent absurd businesses, pitch them with complete confidence, and persuade the Investor to fund them. Every round becomes a startup meeting that slowly descends into glorious chaos.

Intro

Welcome to the world's least responsible investment firm.

How to play

Step 1

The investor of the round reveals an Opportunity Card.

"Customers want products that indirectly ask people to leave their home when they've overstayed their welcome."

Step 2

The rest of the group choose one Product card.

e.g. Clock

Step 3

They ddd up to two Feature cards to their product

e.g. Passive Aggressive

e.g. Screaming

Step 4

Pitch your product. Convince the Investor why your invention will be the best product for this business opportunity. Use everything in your power to embelish your product.

Logic optional.

Confidence essential.

e.g. The passive aggressive screaming clock will start whispering at 9pm, and progressively get louder every 10 minutes until everyone leaves. Oh, and it threatens to explode if people aren't taking the hint.

Step 5

The Investor funds their favourite pitch.

The winning inventor earns the Opportunity card.

Step 6

Replenish your product & feature cards.

There is a new investor.

Repeat.

Why Kickstarter?

Hi, I'm Christina, the creator behind Chaotic Octopus.

I've spent years creating games because I love bringing people together around a table.

After publishing my first children's book and developing multiple tabletop games, In Greed We Trust is the project I believe is perfect for Kickstarter.

Your support will help fund manufacturing, artwork, and bring the game to players around the world.

Thank you for believing in wonderfully terrible ideas.
