Wongamania: Banana Economy

Welcome to Banana Republic, a political unstable country where the economy is controlled by political and business elites. You are one of the elite of this nation and your objective is to stash enough money in an offshore trust fund in order to retire comfortably. Invest your income in Stocks, Properties and Bonds and exert influence on the government to manipulate the economy for your personal gain. Orchestrate the downfall of other elites by destroying their personal life through car accidents, expensive divorces and shotgun babies. Do you have what it takes to survive in this cutthroat world of money mania!

Wongamania: Banana Economy is an economic and modern finance board game which reflects the complexity of modern investment portfolio management by incorporating multiple asset classes which will behave differently under different economic situation. Deviating from the traditional auction mechanics used by most of the stock trading board game, Wongamania: Banana Economy uses a combination of resource management, constantly changing environment and take-that mechanics to reflect the brutal competition and uncertainty of the modern global financial markets. Players have to manage a portfolio of stocks, properties and bonds and assess the risk-reward of holding them in different allocations. Players are also able to influence the economic environment by manipulating it to either benefit their personal investment allocation or to wreck havoc against other players who are using a different asset allocation strategy. Players are also able to make use of their money for other purposes, such as sabotaging the personal lives of other players, hiring professionals to disrupt the strategy of other players and buying insurance to protect against sabotages. Players who are able to stash enough money in a off-shore Trust Fund will win the game.

Wongamania: Banana Economy is a re-implementation of the 2014 published game: Wongamania (only available in SEA), and multiple changes have been made to cater better to the international audience.

Release date expected to be in Spring 2016. A Kickstarter campaign will be launched during Winter 2015
