A downloadable game

Gather the business cards you have collected over the years, time to put them to good use!

Similar to Magic The Gathering or other trading card games, Business Card Battles is a duel between two players where to goal is to win in business.

Each player has a deck of 30 cards. The game starts with 7 cards in hand. Draw a card at the beginning of turn. No duplicate cards per deck.

Points are based on the first letter of the person or the business.

You'll need a calculator, a xerox of Letter Points Sheet and a pen/paper to track points. Thankfully you should have all of these at hand as you are a business person!

The game is won when:

- you have more than 99 business points
- your opponent don't have any cards to draw from his deck

During your turn:

- draw a card
- choose to place one card maximum, either as a business or as a person
- people can either work for a business (move the person card under the business card) or they can compete with an opponent's person working for a business. Competing means both your person and the other person are tapped and are inactive unless you decide to un-tap your person (once per turn maximum). To be able to compete, your person's point must be equal or superior to the opponent's target person.
- at the end of the turn your businesses generate business points using the businesses' points multiplied by the employees' points. (example Jon (8) and Ann (1) working for Acme will generate ( 8 + 1 ) * 1 = 9 business points). See table below to find the first letter value.

Special cards and rules:

The fanciest cards have special powers.

- a photo: tap this card to make target person un-competable until your next turn
- unique print (sparkling, transparent, rounded borders, not paper…): sacrifice this card to either destroy a target business or generate 10 business points * this card's person points
more than 3 colors (excluding B&W): + 1 business point per turn if set up as busines
- more than phone/email/address to contact: + 1 business point per turn when working as an employee
- the card is 
not a business card: can be used at any time to confuse (make inactive) a person card until your next turn or counter a special card
- They don't have a brand/company: can't be competed with when working as employee
card has at least one non white side: can be set up as a business
