Somewhere on a holiday in Albania, two players got tired of waiting their turn. Ruthless Returns is the result: a business board game where ALL players act simultaneously, every single round. No downtime. No mercy.
PICK ONE CARD. PASS THE REST. Each fiscal year you get a hand of 7 cards, 7 Wonders-style. Hire lawyers, launch shitstorms, plant shady evidence, poach your neighbour's star employee, or just quietly build the best product on the market. Every path can win.
THE COURTROOM IS THE EXECUTIONER. Lawsuits resolve at year-end in a courtroom ceremony with verdicts, gold and blood. Nine out of ten bankruptcies follow a lost case. Cutscenes with two merciless commentators cover the falls from grace.
SATIRE WITH TEETH. Offshore accounts, greenwashing, spin doctors, lobbyists and a board of directors with demands. The Panama Papers universe, except this time it's the people at your table doing the scheming.
- 1-6 players: solo vs. a sharp AI (three difficulty personalities), shared screen, or online multiplayer with open lobbies and chat
- 187 hand-illustrated cards + 4 expansions included (The Board, Investments, Headhunters, Lobbyists)
- 14 entrepreneurs with unique perks and fully voiced personalities
- A physical board game edition is on its way to Kickstarter
