Nekonyancer[img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785eca54130f2.49292734.jpg[/img] The world of business is not for the faint-of-heart! Only the most cunning and ferocious can survive in the corporate jungle! Do you have what it takes to be a shark among minnows? [green][tip] This tutorial is best viewed on a computer!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerUnfortunately, many of the interactive elements will not work in tutorial mode, but we can still learn this great game! :)2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerIn *I'm the Boss,* you and your opponents will negotiate a series of *business deals.* You'll need to bring the right people to the bargaining table, negotiate wisely, and offer tidbits to the minnows nipping at your heels to be successful! [green]$ At the end of the game, whoever has the most money wins! $3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerEach player starts the game with [red]*five cards*[/red] in their hand and [blue]*two investor placards*[/blue] in front of them. In *4 or 5 player games* though, each person will only get *1* placard, with the unused placards in the middle of the board. 4my_card_hand_5_56000my_card_hand_1_7 1 my_card_hand_2_16 1 my_card_hand_3_45 1 my_card_hand_4_51 1 my_card_hand_5_56 1 my_card_3_1_101 2 my_card_3_2_102 2 my_card_1_1_104 2 my_card_1_2_106 2 my_card_2_1_103 2 my_card_2_2_105 2
NekonyancerAt the beginning of the game, the last person in turn order must select the starting space. This game, it's us. *Click here to place the $ marker!* *Then click on "Select" at the top!*5cell_10010cell_10 16
NekonyancerNow the game is ready to start. [blue]Each player has 2 options on their turn:[/blue] *- *Make a deal wherever the marker is *-* Roll the die. Then make a deal wherever the marker ends up OR draw three cards.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment629787bb14d4300
NekonyancerNekonekoneko4 decided to make a deal where the marker was, on this space. [blue]Each space has three important bits of info:[/blue] The *top-left corner* shows how many total investors are needed. The *bottom* shows which specific investors are needed. The *top-right corner* shows how many *shares* the deal is worth.1cell_10629787cfb50a600cell_10 2
NekonyancerThis will be the first deal of the game. The card on top of this stack shows that each share is worth *[green]$ 2,000,000.[/green]*2deal_1629787cfb50a600deal_1 3
NekonyancerFor example, [blue]*this deal*[/blue] requires 2 investors - C and F. It's worth 3 shares, for a total of [green]6 million dollars.3cell_10629787cfb50a600cell_10 2
NekonyancerThe investors nekonekoneko4 needs are shown here...4deal_1_10_1_1629787cfb50a600deal_1_10_1_1 1 deal_1_10_2_1 1
NekonyancerBut he only owns investor placards for [blue]*E and A!*[/blue] Those aren't going to help him here! He'll need to play cards and negotiate with others to meet the deal's requirements.5my_card_1_2_106629787cfb50a600my_card_1_1_104 2 my_card_1_2_106 2
NekonyancerThe negotiation phase has [red]*no set turn order![/red]* Players can make offers or play cards whenever they like until the deal is closed! [green]Because of this, I strongly recommend that you only play this game in *real-time mode!*6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment629787cfb50a600
Nekonyancerneko4 played an [blue]*F clan card*[/blue] from his hand to help him meet the deal's requirements! [green][tip] These cards only offer support *temporarily,* whereas the placards can be used over and over.1my_card_1_3_10629787e58181700my_card_1_3_10 2
NekonyancerNeko4 still needs C to finish the deal. Luckily for him, we own the [blue]*C placard!*[/blue] [green]There's an opportunity for us to make money here![/green] *Select your C placard.* Buttons should appear at the top. Clicking on a button will let neko4 use our placard in exchange for some shares of the deal! We'll demand 2 of the 3 shares here. Click continue...2my_card_3_1_101629787e58181700my_card_3_1_101 2
Nekonyancer*Our offer is on the board!* The temporary use of our *C* placard for 2 of the 3 shares! Neko4 can now either accept or reject our proposal.3deallabel_3_5629787f9532d500
NekonyancerHe... he rejected our deal! *What a jerk!* Let's make him regret his decision. This card is called a[blue]* trip card.*[/blue] It sends an investor (card or placard) on a trip, so they won't be able to contribute to this particular deal. Let's play it on Neko4's F card! 1my_card_hand_3_4562978824c629b00my_card_hand_3_45 2
NekonyancerGood. Neko4 is back to square 1. That will show him.1my_card_1_3_106297888293c4a00
NekonyancerShoot! Neko4 played a [red]*Stop card*[/red], cancelling our trip card! That means his F card is still helping with the deal!1my_card_1_4_9562978891b0fb700
NekonyancerGrrr... That's it! This deal requires a firmer hand. *Let's play this [blue]Boss card!*[/blue]2my_card_hand_3_5162978891b0fb700my_card_hand_3_51 2
Nekonyancer*Now we're in charge of the deal!* Since we have a *C* Placard, it's shown [green]*here,*[/green] contributing to the deal.1deallabel_2_3629788b81ccf200deal_2_10_1_1 3
NekonyancerThis "Breakdown" button appeared because we're the new Boss. When you click this button, you give up all negotiations and cancel the deal. I think we can make this deal work though!2breakdown629788b81ccf200
Nekonyancer*Nice!* Neko3 offered to help with his F placard, and he only wants one of the three shares! In a real game, we'd click on that small white box next to his name to accept his offer, and then click "Conclude Deal" at the top. But here, just click continue.3deallabel_3_3629788cd723ea00
NekonyancerOkay! We got 3 shares, worth 2 million each, but one of the shares went to neko3 for helping out. [green]That means we earned 4 million![/green] All the cards that were used in the deal were discarded. Placards, though, were not.1playername_162978910154ed00
NekonyancerThe top card from [blue]this stack[/blue] was flipped over and placed on the deal's space. [red]The deal here is done - it can't be done again![/red] The $ marker was pushed onto the next space. From now on, the $ marker will skip over this space as if it weren't there. 2cell_1062978910154ed00cell_10 1 deal_2 2
NekonyancerThere's one kind of card we didn't get to see in the last deal: [blue]*recruitment cards.*[/blue] If you get a set of three, you can play them to take someone's placard away from them, *permanently!* [green][tip] In 4-5 player games, players will instead take an unused placard from the middle! They can only steal from each other if there are no more placards in the middle.3my_card_hand_3_5662978910154ed00my_card_hand_3_56 2
Nekonyancer[blue]Here's a recap on the various cards:[/blue] *Clan:* temporarily meets an investor requirement. *Trip:* temporarily nullifies a clan card or placard. *Recruitment:* (x3) steals a placard permanently. *Boss:* You're the boss! *Stop:* cancels a trip, recruitment, or boss card. 5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62978910154ed00
NekonyancerLet's watch one more quick turn...6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62978910154ed00
NekonyancerNeko4 rolled the die, moved, and decided he didn't want to start another deal. *Instead, he drew 3 cards.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62978927add1500
NekonyancerThe game will continue as you've seen - players will roll, draw, or start deals. In deals, cards and offers will go flying left and right. Later deals will be worth more and more money, as determined by the cards in [blue]*this stack.*[/blue]2deal_262978927add1500deal_2 2
NekonyancerEventually, we'll see cards like this on the flipped side: [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6785eca55d5173.32895669.jpg[/img] Deals after that will have even more dice on them, making the end of the game more and more likely.3deal_262978927add1500
NekonyancerIf the boss rolls a number that, according to the last deal card, ends the game, everyone will count up their money. [green]*Whoever has the most money is the winner!*[/green]4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62978927add1500
Nekonyancer*2-Player variant*--- Each player plays with 3 placards. The Boss may use their opponent's investor placards without their consent, but he must pay them *1 share per investor borrowed.* Either player can play cards onto them, as usual, to seal or derail a deal.5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62978927add1500
Nekonyancer*[blue]Thank you for playing through this tutorial for I'm The Boss!*[/blue] If you have any comments or questions about the tutorial, feel free to send *Nekonyancer* a message! A big thank you goes out to *Stefano* for bringing this game to BGA! Have fun! :D6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62978927add1500
