Webquartett: Startup card game including iliketotallyloveit.com


We just got our Webquartett set. What is a webquartett? Well, it is comparable to the game Go Fish, but since the people over at blognation already did the job of summing it up so nicely I let them do the talking:

“Webquartett.de is a fun idea: play a real life card game and let your startup beat others!
You can compile and buy a card game for 8 Euro by selecting 32 companies out of a pool of 53 German startups. Recently the option to create a card from the scratch if a company is not listed has been added. If you don’t know which companies to choose, the site presents you with some preset selections or you can browse the selections other customers have made. Each startup is represented on a playing card and is ranked in 5 categories: date of launch, number of founders, age of the youngest founder, authority at Technorati and originality of the concept. Once you have come to an agreement on how to interpret the criteria you can start playing.
The rules are simple: There are two players, each player gets 16 cards. The starting player picks a category and the values of the topmost cards of both players are compared. The player with the better value wins the card of the other player and places both cards at the bottom of his pile and chooses the category for the next round. If one player has all cards he has won the game.”
If you like the idea check out the product page to the webquartett on iliketotallyloveit.com and maybe vote for it.
