SHELL COMPANY: DON'T WRITE ME OFF - Welcome to the fast-paced world of turtle dating! Your goal is to run the most successful turtle dating company, helping to romance turtles and sweep them right out of their shells. But you're not the only one vying for their attention; you might find yourself at odds with a rival company as you attempt to woo these reptiles. You better make sure you have just the right gifts to make the best impression. If that doesn't work, you could always donate the gifts and write off the expenses. After all, it's not just about the love; it's also about the money. $hell Company is an auction-style bidding game with a touch of bluffing where players will need to manage their finances in order to acquire gifts. These gifts can either be used to romance potential clients, or they can be donated and used as a tax write-off. Both of these things are important because players are scored based on their weaker area.

Features:

• TAXES & LOVE: A competitive board game of bidding and bluffing about taxes and turtles trying to find love. Phases of gameplay: Income, shopping, romance, donation & upkeep.
• BIDDING & BLUFFING: Outbid your rivals to acquire the most valuable and desirable gifts. Use these gifts to romance or donate.
• BALANCE ROMANCE & DEDUCTIONS: Romance one of dozens of turtle companions with gifts they'll love.
• FILE YOUR TAXES: Claim tax deductions for sets of extra gifts, but don't get caught for bending the rules!
• Born at PAX. We at Lynnvander Studios teamed up with PAX East for a game design panel. The crowd came up with the combination of turtle dating sim and tax evasion, and we refined their ideas into this board game!
