Mergernaut — A Boardroom Game of Sites, Shares, and Takeovers
A private multiplayer strategy game where players place sites, build corporations, trade shares, and survive mergers on a 108-site board.
Field notes
Mergernaut uses a 12-by-9 board where players place sites, create corporations, buy shares, and resolve takeovers. The rules distinguish Anchor and Cobalt as value companies from three standard and two premium companies, with tier bonuses affecting purchases, merger payouts, and final redemption. The page also describes server-saved moves, browser-specific hands, and optional fog-of-war behavior. It labels the current rules prototype ht-0.5.0 and identifies influence and dividends as playtesting proposals.
