Djibouti

Djibouti
An Entrepreneur's Playground
The former French colony of Djibouti (jee-BOO-tee) in the present day: the economy is just starting to take off and you are a part of it!

Everyone wants to parlay their street vender origins into bigger and better things.

What small ventures will you start?

What big ventures will you invest in?

How will you outsmart your competitors?

Goal: Create the biggest business empire
- Build small ventures to accumulate capital
- Use capital to invest in big ventures
- Manipulate your competitor’s investments

Djibouti is a tableau building game where your hand of cards is used to construct buildings by playing the building card and spending additional cards for payment or expending cards as action cards to move your (or other players') capital.

Small enterprises are built in your play area, but large ones are shared in a central pool. Large enterprises all have special abilities that you can use if you invest capital, and points to score for either plurality on any card, or for having capital across sets of the same colour.

The game lasts eight rounds and the person with the high score is the winner.
