Physical cards + digital business engine

How Strategy Masters Works

Strategy Masters combines a physical card deck with a digital game system that runs in any web browser. The cards create the table experience; the system keeps the accounts.

1. Create a game

The game host creates a new game in the browser. Players join by scanning a QR code or entering a short join code on their own phone, tablet or computer.

2. Play physical cards

The deck contains employee cards, market cards and surprise cards. On their turn, players play a card: hire an employee, react to a market change or handle a surprise.

3. Register the card

Each card is registered by scanning it with the device camera or by selecting it manually. The system recognises the card and applies its effect to the player’s company.

4. The engine calculates the business

Revenue, salaries and other costs, profit and the bank account are calculated automatically every round. Monthly profit is added to the bank account and losses reduce it.

5. Follow the shared scoreboard

A shared scoreboard and event log can be shown on a TV or any browser-enabled screen. The host can hide exact figures so competitors do not see each other’s full finances.

6. Win by building a system

The first company to reach 1,000,000 in revenue and 250,000 in profit — with the owner doing no personal work — wins.
