Who are we?

Rüegg Management GmbH. was founded by me (Thomas Rüegg) in 2003.

During the first corona lockdown (spring 2020), I developed the trade game together with my then 12- and 13-year-old children (Mara and Ryan) and my partner Ramona Heldstab. I was on spring break with my kids and everything was closed. At the campsite, we then started to draw out the game board in a very rudimentary way with paper, pencil and colored pens, defining the texts for the action fields, which action fields are connected to which trade fields, etc. The result was a great board game. The result was a great board game mix between Monopoly and the ladder game.

We put our heart and soul into this project every day and are delighted when we can bring more people together to play a board game that they can identify with and have a lot of fun with.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help and support.

Brief description of the game

Below you will find a brief description of the game and the most important features, functions and aim of the business game. Open the individual tabs for more information.

The aim of the trade game is for players to own as many trade spaces as possible from the regional businesses participating in the trade game. The aim is to have as much money as possible and, of course, as many business spaces as possible. This is a great opportunity for the regional businesses to have an original and permanent presence in their region.

The trade spaces can be purchased by all other players by rolling the dice on the corresponding trade space, if no one else owns it and you have enough money to buy it. The game money is distributed equally among the players before the game begins (according to the rules of the game).

The players buy the business spaces and receive the game card for the corresponding space (with logo, photos and information about the participating business).
This card then shows the rent that the player who stands on this space must pay to the owner.

There are 2-4 trade spaces of each color group. If you own several trade spaces of a color group, the rent for the player who comes to a standstill on this space increases.

The various action fields between the business fields make the game even more exciting.
These action spaces then say, for example: "Business is bad and you lose your most expensive space to the player on the right."
Or: "Congratulations on signing the contract, you will receive 5,000 from the casino"
