Rival smartphone CEOs race to build global office networks, innovate new tech, and out-earn competitors in the exploding early phone market.

Gameplay

Across five years, you overlay plan cards to set prices and actions, build offices on the world map, research tech, produce phones, and sell into regions for cash and bonuses. The tension is guessing demand and undercutting rivals while fighting for limited market space and regional control.
