Venture Valley’s unique card system lets you throw challenging obstacles at your opponent, or give your own businesses a boost. You may decide to play a card that scares away your opponent’s customers with a bug infestation, or increase your own traffic with a celebrity endorsement. Every card is unique and ensures that no game is the same. Watch cards go into effect with extraordinary animations that light up the screen and bring the city to life.

Travel to three vibrant cities in Venture Valley and take on elaborate challenges to sharpen your business skills. As you continue to progress you will unlock new and breathtaking enterprises, which can each be upgraded to become even more impressive. You can fund these new endeavours with your accumulated revenue or take out a loan to get building right away. The further you go, the more elaborate businesses you can own and operate.

Entrepreneurs start Venture Valley with a simple dog-walking business. As they progress, they will unlock new business opportunities such as mini-golf, a pizza parlor, drone delivery service, robot factory, and more. Players will face numerous challenges in the form of goals which they will compete with other entrepreneurs to the lead-in.

Through play, entrepreneurs develop an understanding of basic business skills as they apply the business concepts they’ve learned to see how their choices affect their businesses. Players learn about cause and effect on such things as pricing, wages, advertising, research and development, operational maintenance, and product quality. In addition, they learn about both the cost and benefit of taking out business loans.

In Venture Valley, business builders encounter many types of opportunities, unexpected situations, and adverse situations in the form of “Boost” and “Adversity” cards. These cards confront players with tactical decisions on whether to use them for their own benefit or impact an opponent to slow down their progress. The red Adversity cards can trigger an audit or labor strike, while blue Boost cards bring benefits such as celebrity endorsements or sales increases.

Intensity is high in match-based competitions as budding entrepreneurs need to make quick strategic and tactical decisions to achieve match goals, while multitasking between several businesses and reacting to events from “Boost” or “Adversity” cards. Players grow their business and revenues to reach the ultimate goal of leading in the leaderboards at the end of the game.
