Proposal: A winning condition

Passed 8-0.  Brendan

Add to rule 2.5, “Buyout”:

If any Corporation has all other Corporations as Subsidiaries, that Corporation has won the game.

It seems reasonable to say that if a Corporation controls the entire market, they’ve won.

I think “all” is better, because there might be two large Corporations that have all the others as subsidiaries, in which case it shouldn’t be a contest of who can bankrupt and buy out anyone new first. Especially if there becomes a method of taking other people’s money.

Also, there should be a provision for if you buy out a Corporation that has other Corporations as subsidiaries, the subsidiaries become your subsidiaries.

Yes, there should.
