Rules of the Game
Game Overview:
Capital Rush is a dynamic investment strategy game that merges financial education with engaging gameplay. Players can choose between Single Player and Multiplayer modes to build and grow their virtual investment portfolios. With different journey lengths and the option to win real money in contests, Capital Rush offers diverse experiences to both casual and strategic players.
Objective:
Grow your virtual portfolio value by making strategic investment decisions and adapting to market challenges.
Game Setup:
Each player starts with 100,000 Capital Dollars (usable for the purpose of the game and have no real-world value).
The game spans 1 to 5 simulated years, with each year divided into 4 quarters.
Each quarter spans across 13 weeks as denoted by tiles on the board.
The tiles are of 2 types- Green tile denoting a positive return for the week and Red tile denoting a negative return for the week.
Turns and Timing:
Players move across weeks using the dice
The number that ends up on the dice is equal to the number of tiles the player or group of players will move across during the year
For single player and multiplayer; the player and bot (single player) and all players (multiplayer) will end up on the same till decided by the dice.
Investment Strategies:
Research and choose from a variety of asset classes, including stocks, bonds, real estate, and more.
Make informed decisions based on changing market conditions, economic events, and corporate finance projects.
Investment Rounds:
In each quarter, players can invest in different asset classes: Equity, Savings/FD, Bonds, Commodities, ETFs, and Venture Capital. Each asset class has its own risk and return profile. Players can allocate their Capital Dollars to purchase assets. Savings/FD and Bonds are interest & coupon bearing assets respectively and are free from multipliers Whilst in Venture Capital, the players also receive additional cash in-flow for landing on the green tile.
Multiplier System:
Multipliers determine the rate of return on investments. Strategic allocation is essential for maximizing returns. Rate of return = Market Return x Asset Multiplier. For example, if the market goes up by 1% and the multiplier of the asset invested is 5, the Rate of return = 1 x 5 = 5% (Asset will increase by 5%). Wherever there are decimal values, it’s rounded off by 2 digits.
In-game questions:
In-game questions test players knowledge and offer rewards i.e. additional Capital Dollars.
Performance Assessment:
Net worth is calculated at the end of each game. Players net worth is the sum of their invested amount and cash balance.
Utilizing Real-Life Scenarios as Game Events to Enhance Portfolio Growth
Within the game, we incorporate real-life scenarios termed as “events” that guide players in allocating resources and navigating market opportunities strategically. Events impact the lucrativeness of the assets (i.e. multipliers might increase or decrease according to the event), the flow of the tiles (the number of green and red tiles in a quarter) and the result of events might impact the asset values as well.
Navigating Surprise Events: Decisive Choices in an Unpredictable Market
In Surprise Events, players face a challenging situation and they are given 30 seconds to allocate their portfolios according to the Surprise event. These events require players to make swift decisions, mirroring the fast-paced nature of the financial world. This challenges players to adapt quickly, enhancing their ability to handle unexpected situations.
Inflation’s Impact: Asset Valuations Adjusting to Economic Realities Annually
Recognizing the pervasive nature of inflation, the game incorporates its effects on asset values at the close of each year. This mirrors the reality where assets worth can be influenced by inflation. Inflation rate will be obtained by the number that comes on the wheel at the end of every year, taken as the rate of inflation, and the value of assets change accordingly. The inflation wheel is for 5 year journey, not for one year journey or contest. Players learn to manage and adapt their portfolios in response to this economic factor. Inflation impact as follows:
Asset | Effect of Inflation | Amount of Change |
---|
Commodities | Increase | Rate of Inflation |
Equity | No Effect | - |
Fixed Income | Decrease | Rate of Inflation |
Cash | No effect | - |
Derivatives | No effect | - |
Cryptocurrencies | No effect | - |
Agriculture ETF | Increase | Rate of Inflation*2 |
Banking ETF | Decrease | Rate of Inflation*2 |
Infrastructure ETF | Decrease | Rate of Inflation*2 |
Automobile ETF | Decrease | Rate of Inflation*2 |
Information Technology ETF | Increase | Rate of Inflation*2 |
Consumer Electronics ETF | Decrease | Rate of Inflation*2 |
FMCG ETF | Increase | Rate of Inflation*2 |
Pharmaceuticals ETF | Increase | Rate of Inflation*2 |
Oil and gas ETF | Increase | Rate of Inflation*2 |
Mutual Funds | No effect | - |
Forex | Decrease | Rate of Inflation |
Savings/FD | No effect | - |
Venture Capital | No effect | - |
