The teaser
Forty-three seconds on the floor.
No cinematics and no pre-rendered skyline. Every frame is the game running — the board screen, the CEO scorecard, the succession decision that ends your tenure.
The premise
Most tycoon games
Most tycoon games
fake the accounting.
Boardroom doesn't. Behind the desk sits a full double-entry engine, and a 200-quarter integrity test runs on every build asserting the balance sheet ties to within a hundredth of a unit.
That constraint is the game. You can't bluff your way out of a cash crunch, because the cash flow is real.
Leases
Take a 99-year office lease and it lands on the balance sheet properly — as an asset and a liability, under IFRS 16. Buying and leasing genuinely feel different.
Covenants
Break one and lenders don't seize the firm. They grant a standstill — two to four quarters, with a countdown and a headline in the press.
Volcker
The prop desk holds inventory in anticipation of client demand — the same justification real banks use. Set the risk appetite and live with the tail.
Free float
Buy back too much of your own stock and the float thins. Below 3% the exchange puts you on notice — and a thin float makes the price violent both ways.

The prop desk
Commit risk capital to an equity or fixed-income book. Hire the trading head the whole street wants, set your appetite, and live with the tail.
RWA · VaR · Tier-1 ratioThe board
Seven directors, each weighting growth, profit, share price and governance differently. Deliver and they sign your pay. Don't, and they won't.
Annual review · Proxy fightsGoing public
Pick bankers, survive the roadshow, price the book. Then face a quarterly earnings call about the numbers you actually posted.

The deal room
Episodic mega-mandates — hostile defences, jumbo IPOs, restructurings. Win the pitch, survive the execution, bank the fee. Or collapse publicly.
Retainer + success feeGoing global
Open London, Singapore or Dubai. Buy the building or lease it — then station bankers there, or the office earns nothing at all.
AMER · EUR · APAC · MEACrisis eras
Named multi-quarter downturns: tremors, crash, policy response, recovery. A rival bank fails. A bailout appears — with strings attached to your pay.
Bank failure · Fire salesThe inbox
Mail from your directs, your floor and outsiders. Every choice moves a hidden integrity meter — until a short-seller publishes what you buried.

Available on PC
Take the corner office.
Start with a founder's desk and one product. Finish with a listed institution, seats on other companies' boards, and a succession decision that settles how you're remembered.
