Incubator
Requirements
Description
So you think you've got a promising new app that could change the world? Get in line! Join your friends in the Incubator, where you'll get a chance to test your startup management skills.
Each round, players will simulataneously choose an action from the Incubator track. Choose carefully, because once you've chosen an action further down the track, you won't be able to take any actions you skipped to get there this round! Will you race to secure one of the available funding dice? Recruit a new employee card? Or maybe just get some sleep? All of these choices will determine whether or not your app is the next big thing...

Notes
- This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
- This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
