Gameplay Information

Available for free on the App Store^SM for iPhone^®, iPod touch^®, and iPad^® devices, the premise of the game is for players to work with various building materials that symbolize different investment categories – steel (cash), wood (bonds) and glass (stocks) – as they build increasingly complex towers or “structs.”  Three main characters, called the build crew, correspond to a unique investor style: aggressive, moderate and conservative.  A fourth crewmember is a wild card, representing both market opportunity and risk.  Through crew selection and game objectives, metaphors about saving and investing are conveyed that parallel the concepts of risk, diversification, goals and achievement.  Crew selection, a diversified strategy, and material handling are critical to a player’s success.
