Build your next company from a tiny startup into a billion-dollar tech unicorn. Tech Unicorn is a strategy simulation game about product bets, hiring, fundraising, growth, and survival. Every run asks you to balance cash, runway, team morale, founder energy, product quality, market fit, and investor confidence while unexpected events force hard tradeoffs. What you can do: - Choose a founder archetype, company focus, industry, and challenge setup - Make product, growth, hiring, fundraising, and operations decisions - React to dynamic events that can boost momentum or threaten the company - Unlock achievements, compete on Game Center leaderboards, and build your legacy across multiple runs - Unlock extra founder archetypes, scenarios, industries, themes, and share-card styles through optional in-app purchases Winning takes more than growth at all costs. Push too hard and your founder can burn out. Run out of cash and the company collapses. Find the right balance, hit the big milestones, and reach unicorn status. Play in short sessions or keep a run alive over time with optional reminders.

About

Cercle d'Élite

Features
Read full description

Cercle d'Élite is a premium, single-player strategy of inheritance and influence. 1925. Two years out of Constantinople, Boris Volkov married Élène Laurent in Bordeaux. A century later, the Maison Volkov-Laurent is an empire of hospitality, media, and strategic investments — and Boris has just died. His three grandchildren inherit. You are one of them. Across twelve quarters you build prestige, acquire houses across France, negotiate with your own family, and decide how far you will go to lead the Cercle. — A living board of thirty places, from Place Vendôme to the Côte d'Azur. Acquire assets, draw dividends, and watch rivals close in. — Negotiate, lobby the family Conseil, and call on rituals when influence alone won't do. — Three heirs, three temperaments, three ways to win — or to be quietly undone. — A story told between the turns: letters, a will, and a press that reacts to your every move. Crafted to an Apple-level bar: — French Art Deco meets 1920s Russian avant-garde — flat colour, gold, geometry. — On-device intelligence writes the family's voice; nothing leaves your phone. — No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. One price, the whole game, fully offline. Inherit the house. Outlast the family. Reign.
