"Welcome to Future Inc.! Invest in the best factories to produce and sell your products, keeping an eye on the competition and reacting to market demand, in order to become the most successful entrepreneur of a near future." Future Inc. is an economic card game played over five rounds, each of them divided into three action phases and one market phase. Players take turns in action phases, buying factories and promoting the commodities they are most interested in. Then, when a market phase takes place, players compete to sell as much products as possible. After the market phase of the last round, the game ends. Each player adds their profit so far to the total value of their factories, determining their score. The player with the highest score is the winner. —description from the publisher
