Description

Venture is a classic card game that's all about building your business empire. First published in 1968 by renowned game designer Sid Sackson, it's a game that's easy to learn but full of strategic depth. Players collect sets of resource cards to purchase companies, with the goal of accumulating the most valuable corporations. The twist is that other players can launch proxy takeovers, so you need to carefully manage your holdings to protect your most valuable assets. As you play, you'll draw profit cards that score you points, and the game ends when the corporation deck runs out. With 2 to 6 players and a playtime of just 45 minutes, Venture is a great choice for a quick but engaging game night. Its unique blend of set collection, pattern building, and take-that mechanics makes it a standout in the world of economic card games.
