During your turn you can do one of the following actions:

• Do a funding
• Plai a special card
• Fight

By the end of turn, if any startup has run out of assets their company is declared bankrupt and can't continue on the market. Any eliminated player becomes an Open Source Maintainer.

• Family Funding

  Draw one card from the deck.

  Nobody can attack you

• Regional pitch

  Draw two cards from the deck.

  The next player can attack you

• Venture capital

  Draw three cards.

  Anyone can attack you

During a Regional pitch or a Venture capital, do not look at the drawn cards right away, leave them face down in case another startup wants to attack you.

If no one attacks, keep the assets raised during the funding.

Steal assets from other startups.

• Hostile Takeover: if you have 9 or more cards, you can challenge any player at your turn.
• During a Funding: you or another startup does a Regional pitch or a Venture capital

Use Adversaries if you are attacking and Use Cases if you are on the defensive. In both cases you can add Buzzwords to increase the number of your attack or defense.

Specific special cards can be played in the middle of battle, such as cards that negate other card's effects. These Special cards do not need to be in the four picked cards at the beginning of the battle.

You can bluff and only attack or defend yourself with Buzzword cards. However, if the other startup has Use Cases or Adversary cards you will have lost the battle.

Order of events during a fight

• The attacker(s) chooses their cards to play and places them face down. The defender decides if they want to defend, and if so, put their cards face down.
• Defense cards are revealed and their effects are applied. Then, do the same for the attacker's cards.
• Add up the stregnth of each played card. Whoever has more points wins, or in the event of a draw, the defense is the winner.
• The winner takes the drawn cards if it is a Funding, or the entire losing hand if it is a Hostile Takeover.
• Discard all the played cards.

Your startup is bankrupt, but its not your end. You morph into an Open Source Maintainer and can do one of the following actions during your next turns:

• Family funding
• Plai a special card
• Help fight other startups

Open Source Maintainers must act in collaboration and talk in public. They can only have a maximum of 6 assets between them and any additional ones must be discarded.
