Strategy Masters by Businexer
Strategy Masters – The Business Strategy Game
Strategy Masters is a physical + digital business strategy game for 2–6 players, made primarily for entrepreneurs, managers and business teams — and also suitable for families and for trainers and facilitators.
Each player builds a company from nothing: hiring people, earning revenue, paying costs, firing when needed and building a management structure. The goal is a business that keeps running and making profit without its owner doing the work.

What is Strategy Masters?
Strategy Masters is a business strategy game in which every player runs their own company. Players start with no starting capital and grow by hiring employees, who bring revenue but also cost money. Market cards and surprise cards change the conditions along the way.
Who is Strategy Masters for?
Strategy Masters is made primarily for entrepreneurs, managers and business teams. It is also suitable for families — parents playing together with children from around age 8 — and for trainers and facilitators.
How long does a game take?
Most Strategy Masters games take around 30–45 minutes. A game can take longer with more players, longer discussions or a difficult run of market and surprise events.
How does Strategy Masters work?
Players draw and play physical employee, market and surprise cards. Each card is registered in the digital game system by scanning it with the phone camera or entering it manually. The system calculates revenue, costs, profit and the bank account for every company, round by round.
How many people can play Strategy Masters?
Strategy Masters is played by 2–6 players. Two players get the full game head-to-head; 4–6 players at one table works especially well for entrepreneur evenings and group sessions.
What age is Strategy Masters suitable for?
The recommended age is 8+. Children from around age 8 have successfully played it together with their parents. It is the same full game, not a children’s edition.
What does Strategy Masters teach?
Players experience why people matter, where revenue comes from, how costs affect profit, why growth creates new management problems and why an owner cannot do everything forever. A company wins only when it reaches 1,000,000 in revenue and 250,000 in profit while the owner no longer does the work personally.
Does Strategy Masters require a computer?
Each player needs a smartphone, tablet or computer with a web browser. No app installation is required. A shared scoreboard can optionally be shown on a TV or any browser-enabled screen.
How is Strategy Masters different from a traditional board game?
The physical cards keep the game social and tactile, while the digital business engine does the accounting. Players spend their time on decisions and discussion instead of counting money.
Who created Strategy Masters?
Strategy Masters was created by Allan Seim, an entrepreneur and manager with more than 20 years of business experience, and is published under the Businexer brand.
How was Strategy Masters developed?
The idea came from a business management lecture by Mait Ruut about how differently employees contribute to a company. The game evolved from A4 paper cards and Excel, through the first games with his son, hand-marked playing cards and a web-based spreadsheet, years of testing with entrepreneurs, friends and family, and a dedicated web application, into today’s physical + digital game.
