BookYol Games
BookYol Games are physical card games that turn one business skill into a 25-minute table game. Our first game puts you in a founder's chair: eight rounds of real decisions, real trade-offs, and one question — do you survive?

What happens at the table
Every round you draw one situation and choose A or B. Every choice moves your numbers. After eight rounds the highest Founder Value wins.
Pick a startup
Five companies, each with its own cash, burn and special ability.
Draw a situation
One card for the whole table: an ad crisis, a cofounder offer, a server crash.
Choose A or B
Secretly. Every option costs something: cash, product, traction or ownership.
Pay your burn
Every round your company burns money. Run out and you're bankrupt.
Make a Founder Move
Raise money, hire, take a loan, or sell the company. One move per round.
Count your Founder Value
Cash plus product times traction, times the ownership you kept. Highest wins.
Eight rounds. Twenty-five minutes. Five Founder Types you might turn out to be.
Our message
Simplify
Every skill hides a handful of real decisions under a pile of jargon. We cut the pile and keep the decisions.
Gamify
You remember what cost you something. A game lets you lose a little, safely, and learn faster than any summary.
Together
A table, not a screen. Twenty-five minutes with people you know beats an hour alone with a book.
How it fits
BookYol is where you learn a skill from the best books in minutes a day. Each game takes one of those skills off the page and puts it on the table, so you practise the decisions instead of memorising the vocabulary.

No. Each game stands on its own. BookYol is where you go deeper afterwards if you want to.
