The GoVenture Entrepreneur Board Game combines the best of your favorite board games into a business context where you run your own business and compete, collaborate, and negotiate with other players.
Game play is designed to recreate the real-life thrills and challenges of entrepreneurship in a fun and educational social learning experience.
Activities are expertly designed to enable you to experience the true challenges of entrepreneurship, while at the same time, provide an engaging and experiential group learning opportunity.

Activities include:
- Buying, Pricing, and Selling Products (called "Gwidgets")
- Managing Employees
- Paying Expenses
- Managing Cash Flow
- Investing in Product Quality and Marketing (Brand)
- Negotiating with other players
- Interacting with other players through question and answer, drawing, charades, trivia, word puzzles, and more!

Lower game board. The game board represents
one calendar month, divided into four weeks. All players
participate in every turn. Each week, players experience a
business activity, challenge, and compete for customers. At the
end of each month, players calculate their Success. They can
optionally complete accounting worksheets, including balance
sheet, income statement, general ledger, and general journal.
Upper game board. Chips (not shown) are used
to mark each business's Price, Quality, Brand, number of
Employees, and the entrepreneur's Lifestyle. Each business
can choose its own strategy by setting product price, and
investing in quality and marketing. For example, a business can
choose to be a low-cost, low-quality supplier, while another can
choose to be a high-cost, high-quality supplier — or
somewhere in between. A business can change its strategy as the
game progresses, choosing to fill a gap in the market or to
directly challenge other competitors.
