Such a fun concept with disappointing execution. Seems like the outcome of every choice is decided by a dice roll, which is heavily irritating for a game like this. Doesn't matter how much you strategize, you might as well just hit random buttons (which I've tried, and actually got a very positive outcome 🙃). TLDR; no strategy involved, and the game just uses AI and dice rolls to decide quite literally everything but your name.

Great premise, poor execution likely done on purpose. I never got an ad, but I did REPEATEDLY run out of stamina during the rapid clicking that is encouraged and necessary. No problem, but then you get the normal ad to buy stamina. Full screen ad, and ANYWHERE that you click except the tiny X in the corner confirms the purchase. No verification, just loss of premium currency. Don't get me wrong, you get what is promised. But it is designed theft.

Long waits, but still enjoyable. The idea behind this game is great, but there's a lot of time that you end up waiting to be able to play again once you've finished your initial investor tasks and finished the merging part. But it's still worth playing. it's a pretty fun way to simulate being an investor in a business. Board meetings, making decisions that impact on your company value and net worth. It's original, different.
