Modern Mint

Step into the high-stakes world of startups and investments with Modern Mint, the strategy board game that dares you to fulfill your entrepreneurial dream and mint a fortune. While many board games explore fantastical realms, Modern Mint pulls you into the tempestuous seas of innovation and investment. It's a strategy board game that finds adventure in the real world, where the stakes are as high as the rewards and you can build an empire from your wits and daring. Game OverviewIn Modern Mint, 3 to 6 players step into the roles of visionary Founders or shrewd Investors to compete and collaborate over a series of game rounds, each representing a full business year. The goal is simple: become the wealthiest player by building the most valuable business empire. Four Founders will work to turn their dreams into reality, while two Investors will use their capital and influence to back the most promising ventures for a handsome return. The game unfolds through three key phases each round: Fundraising Phase: Founders pitch their grand visions to secure capital. This is a dynamic stage of negotiation where deals are struck, partnerships are formed, and investors decide who to back. Will you give up equity for a cash infusion or bootstrap your way to the top? Action Phase: With capital in hand, Founders get to work. Grow your company by launching new verticals, upgrading your team, investing in PR & Marketing, or seeking guidance from powerful Mentors. An innovative action-point system creates a strategic tension: the more you do this year, the later you'll act in the next, forcing you to balance short-term hustle with long-term positioning. Revenue Phase: The moment of truth! See how your business decisions paid off as you calculate your earnings. But beware—unpredictable Market Event cards can shake things up with economic booms, recessions, or industry-wide disruptions, forcing all players to adapt on the fly. Key Features Real-World Inspired Gameplay: Experience the authentic challenges of entrepreneurship. Negotiate deals, manage resources, and balance risk versus reward under pressure. Every choice carries weight, mirroring the real founder’s journey from a bold idea to a thriving enterprise. Dynamic Player Roles: Play as a visionary Founder, building a company from the ground up, or as a powerful Investor, funding startups and shaping the market. The tension and synergy between these roles create a rich, interactive experience. Engaging and Social: Modern Mint is designed for memorable table dynamics. Alliances will form and crumble, friendly rivalries will emerge, and you'll find yourself cheering, gasping, and laughing as fortunes are made and lost. It's the most fun you'll have screaming at your friends! Strategic Depth and Replayability: With multiple paths to victory, unique company ventures to launch, and unpredictable market events, no two games are ever the same. You'll learn, adapt, and refine your strategy with every play. Business with Heart & Brain: More than just a game, Modern Mint is a celebration of bravery and smart decision-making. It teaches strategic thinking, adaptability, and negotiation in a way that is both entertaining and empowering, leaving you inspired for your next tabletop adventure. —description from the publisher
