How to Play: At the start of the game each player is given $500 to start their cookie business. Each player is entitled to up to three loans of $100 at the start of game and/or getting a partner worth $500. After personalizing cookie shops players who purchased the ‘extravagant opening day’ each take their first turn (once they roll to see who goes first), ‘fancy opening day’ join in on turn 2 and ‘basic opening day’ on turn 3. At turn 3 all shops are open for business and the turn order established remains the entire game.
Each turn a player rolls the dice to determine how many dollars they earned that day. Players may then add their bonuses and deductions to their sales for each category. Players may then draw a card from the ‘Event’ deck and deal with their event. A player’s turn ends after deciding to or not to upgrade their shop supplies.
The game ends after 20 turns. All loans must be repaid from profits and, if necessary, item repossession. Player with the highest sales at the end of 20 turns wins the title of ‘BEST BUSINESS OWNER’, but all players who end the game without debt win.
Rules: All debts must be paid with profits or items. To pay with items you must either downgrade or sell your supplies (at half of purchase price). Ties are determined by a name drawn at random from hat or other container.
