Wolfgang Kramer developed another game under the name Big Boss , which appeared in 1994.

game

Bigboss is a business simulation game for 3 to 9 players, with 9 players, one acting as the administrator . The players are as pawns on a circuit and can buy raw materials, convert them into finished goods in factories and sell them again. Machines and computers are useful for this. The dice and the event cards serve as a luck factor.

Material and goal

In addition to the game board, the play money and the playing figures, as well as the 22 chips, 30 event cards and the six-sided dice, the box contains 42 goods, 21 machines, 21 machine extensions and 8 plastic computers and 8 company plans. The winner is whoever has made the most money after the predetermined playing time has elapsed.
