Big Boss: A Hidden Gem of Strategy!
Big Boss is an outstanding game that’s quick to learn but rich in strategy. Each move requires careful thought, and it’s incredibly easy to bring to the table, making it perfect for game night. One of its best features is that it accommodates up to six players, which is a pleasant surprise.The value for the money is top notch, I love the money tokens.If I had to mention a downside, the box could be a bit larger to fit all the components comfortably, though the components themselves are beautifully crafted and look fantastic on the table. Highly recommended!

Amazing intro board game for adults (especially on sale)
I bought this for only around $16 and at that price it’s a steal.The game takes a little bit to explain, but I’ve played it twice with new players and both times they grasped it fairly quickly. One game I played with my parents and my mother actually got first place!The pieces all feel nice, with the plastic pieces having a good fit when stacking them. The cards also feel good and the art of each card is really fun!There’s a good depth to the strategy of the game, as well as alternate rules included to make it more challenging. I highly recommend this for your next game night if you haven’t played it yet.

Fun Game
I have played this game several times with 3 other friends. It is a very good game of strategy where you are trying to build buildings and keep control of them in order to gain victory points. Easy to learn. Play time I would guess to last about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Tons of fun
We love this game! It took us a while to get used to the rules and played the simple version first. However, it is even better when you start using the level cards! The more people playing the better it is.

Fun simple strategy
Was a little unsure when I purchased the game as there where no reviews or videos. It is apparently a revision of an older version with improved rules and presentation. It was only available in German.You build companies, you expand them, you buy stock and perform mergers all in an attempt to have the most money at the end of the game. 72 cards represent the 72 building spaces on the board. You start with a hand of 10 cards and you can basically play a card onto the board to build a company or add to an existing one. You can also draw an additional up card or one from the deck as part of your future strategy.Some degree of luck as cards are exposed but a fair amount of strategy of when and were to build to maximize your return.Played twice with 2 people. Probably better either 3 or more people because as game winds down it becomes obvious what cards both you and your opponent have. It doesn't really matter though as this is part of strategy to hold these cards till end and maximize payout. It's just too bad for your opponent because they know you are gonnahave a big payday on your last few turns and theirs nothing they can do !Rules are fairly simple although rulebook could use a little more depth.I usually like more in depth strategy games, but this has enough to make it fun and interesting without being overwhelming for those who want to have fun.I'm kind of a game junkie and bought on a whim and I'm very happy I did.

Too Easy to Break this Game
We are board game players, and had high expectations for this game, especially since it was a Syd Sackson game and a sequel to our long time favorite Acquire. The board, pieces, and cards all look nice. We like the money chips and bank trays much more than paper money. Unfortunately, we all quickly concluded that there is only one simple viable strategy to win the game, and it's a boring strategy. It quickly devolved into luck of the draw to win. We all quickly became bored with this game... even the 2 players who don't like strategic thinking. The rules are simple; we definitely did not play the game wrong. We played 5 times and have now put the game away. If we ever play again, we will increase the cost of the level up cards and that might help. However, we still much prefer the 2D grid layout of Acquire, and multiple possible merger chips compared to the Big Boss alternative... a 1D long snake with only 1 possible merger chip between chains. Our last game didn't even have 1 merger. We are sticking with Acquire; it's much more fun.

Never gets old. Learning curve, but new players can still win!
We've been playing this every 2-4 weeks for 8 months and still can't wait to play again! It scratches the Monopoly itch, but everyone stays in the whole time.Every game is different. Rules are more complicated than actual game play. The short version of the strategy is "buy small, sell big, climb the ladder faster than everyone else"Easier to learn with fewer players, best balance of fun and challenging to play with 4 players. Anyone who watches two or three quick example rounds immediately understands it, and brand new players still have a fair chance of winning.

Best game ever!!!
This game is the by far my favorite game ever. As someone who loves strategy games and loves business this is an amazing game for both of those. It does take some time to learn the game and honestly my family has changed a couple rules to make the game go faster but this game very much so is a lot more fun than monopoly for its simple mechanics and complexity
