Are the biggest scrapers coming from Europe? From America, Asia? Or?
Amsterdam – 28 May 2019 — Where can we find the most bag fillers? Is that in the European Parliament? At the London Stock Exchange? Or on the boulevard of Nice? As true Europeans, we naturally think that the real scrapers come from the USA. And Chinese and Russians can also do something about it.
A great deal of commotion arises when a politician puts something in the greenhouse, or declares too much travel and accommodation costs. We also see that the Balkenende standard ignores a presenter. But is that grabbing? Is it not pathetic crumb work? Bankers do considerably better. Andrea Orcel was unable to reach an agreement with Bank Santander on 50 million sign money last year. Or take athletes. They also have the sympathy of the public. As a Dutchman you can beat 17 million together with a little baseball. Of course in the States.
Pyramid Games applauds it. “In fact, we think everyone has it. We all want more. More is never enough. That is why in recent years we have developed the board game The GREED game. A game with which you can measure with your friends who is the biggest digger ”. says Head of Product Development and Aquistions, Bart Overes.
Greed or Greed is international. According to Olivier Verhaar, CFO of Pyramid Games, it is a feature that very few people do not have. “Link your greed to jealousy and you have a wonderful evening full of joy in the game. And then despite the will to win and that jealousy you have to work together to win a big deal. You do that, for example, because you have the money, but you don’t have the right connections. And it’s all about connections if you want to move forward. As a true winner, you want to be a banker. That gives so much more financial scope.”
At the end of 2011, Overes and Verhaar came up with the idea for this game. In the middle of the financial crisis, the news was full of grabbers. They continued to follow that news. The flow of messages no longer dries up. “Well it’s usually the losers who make the news,” says Overes. “Even then there is still plenty to enjoy.” The GREED Game will be available this fall.
About The GREED game
The Greed Game is a board game where you have to try to become the richest. You play it with pawns and dice. Depending on the box you come, a player picks up or buys a card. Then it’s all about strategic insight and a bit of luck on how to deal with this. The expectation is that the first games will be delivered in October.
Crowdfunding promotion on Indiegogo.
Starting today, the Greed game can be subscribed to the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. If approximately 1000 games are ordered, the game is taken into production. If that number is not achieved, there are no financial consequences for the people who have registered.
