### General

Q : Who created Inc.?

A : Inc. was created by two couples who were frustrated over the fact that there hasn't been any innovation in financial board games in decades. To get the full scoop on how Inc. came to be, please refer to the About Us section of this Web site.

Q : Is Inc. just another Monopoly?

A : No, and we resent you asking! Seriously, we get this question a lot and the answer is that the only similarity between Inc. and Monopoly is that both games involve money. That's about it. Inc. is unlike any game you've every played, and has a very different feel than Monopoly. We are fans of Monopoly, and feel that it is a great real estate financial game. Our goal in creating Inc. was not to improve on Monopoly, but to throw out all that we knew and create the ultimate financial board game centered around the entrepreneurial spirit of starting and growing businesses.

Q : What's the deal with the strange packaging of Inc.?

A : Part of the development of Inc. involved rethinking the traditional box in which most games are packaged. We wanted the game to be extremely durable yet easy to transport. After trying many different packaging ideas and testing numerous prototypes, we finally settled on a laminated mat and rugged tube. The laminated mat is completely spill-proof, while the tube is much easier to tote around than a traditional board game box.

### Rules

Q : Can I sell employees to other players, transfer them between businesses, or turn them back in to the Employee Pool for money?

A : No, you cannot sell employees to other players or transfer them between different businesses. Employees can be turned back in to the Employee Pool (laid off) but you don’t receive any money.

Q : What happens if I land on the Corporate Headhunter space and I can‘t use all of the employees I receive?

A : The employees must be returned to the Employee Pool.

Q : Can I use a corporation as part of a matching pair to form another corporation?

A : No. Corporations can only be formed when you have two matching small businesses and the one you are incorporating is fully employed.
