Economicus Games - Board Game Publishing, Party & Family board games from Russian authors and designers

Hello, nice to see you on our website!

Who we are? We, ECONOMICUS GAMES, create and produce board games. Yes, our work is to play board games whole days! Sounds cool, yea? :)

We started in 2016 with our first game with the same name "Economicus" - fun and simple family game about economics, and NO - it is not similar to Monopoly at all! We have successfully produced and distributed our first 3000-copies print run in few month, and that started our board game publishing business. Now you can see a lot of our games in all the book and boardgame shops over the Russia – all the games are original Russian author's games. And some of them are also licensed to foreign countries and languages.

What we do best? Party & family board games with a bit of educational element. Creative and word associations, team work and communication, debates and negotiating, school maths and so on.

A game that combines features of Settlers of Catan and Munchkin. You buy companies and set up start-ups in eligible industries, get profit or sell your company if right the moment has come. You may even try to make a corporate raid. Doing all that you have to acquire your business reputation symbolized by the Stars - special game chips - that's how you score your points.

The game board represents 11 industries (agriculture, telecom, raw materials, etc). Each industry is marked with a die roll number. Each move players throw dices, the roll of the dice denotes an active industry in which players can bid for a company (private or public), start start-ups or sell their companies. Each player who owns a company in the industry marked with the number rolled or in a neighbor industry receives profit.

There are three decks of cards: options, events and crises. Option cards give additional advantages to a player, event cards hit all the players (negatively or positively) and crisis cards may turn your profit into a loss.

Main features:

- A unique compound game board. Each time you will have a new game!

- You won't get bored waiting for your turn, each move players interact with each other.

- Each move you have to make decisions: how to invest in the industry (buy a company or set a start-up), when to increase your financial leverage, sell your company in a crisis industry or increase your share when prices plunge

- Two game modes: a quick game (20 min, good for playing with kids) and a full game (40-60 min).
