IndustryPlayer is a state-of-the-art business simulation based on real life industry data with realistic market dynamics.

You are the CEO of a multinational industry holding and trade your products real-time with thousands of competitors to become the wealthiest industry tycoon. The goal of this turn-based business strategy game is to maximize your market share and wealth.

Unlike simple tycoon-style simulations, IndustryPlayer uses actual industry data and allows its players to simulate real business conditions in a real-time, interactive environment. IndustryPlayer is much more than a multi-player online game.

Level 1 game play is easy, with complexity increasing as you move up in wealth and power. Start with ten million dollars, and buy and run up to five companies. Choose from among 225 product licenses in 16 industry sectors. Before making your selection, you can see the purchase price, production capacity, market demand, and competitive profile.

Manage raw materials, intermediate products, and finished goods. Learn to deal with takeovers, labor strikes, supply shortages, disasters, insurance, and credit ratings, or get beaten by your competition. Read the news ticker, and learn what your competitors are doing to your market.

To increase the competitive challenge, the game features Trusts, or collections of holdings. You can join with other companies to pool your resources, reduce production costs, and strengthen your market positions. The Tutorial Level 1 is available without charge. After you have played your first 15 turns, you can pay a modest fee and enjoy Levels 2 through 10, with 120 turns in each level.

IndustryPlayer's Gold Version gives you access to many exciting features that make the simulation more realistic, and enhance your control over your business options. The Gold Version's License Analyzer provides statistics on profitability, historical sales, current license ratings, and return on equity.

The Business Graphs package lets you chart your sales, costs, cash flow, equity, debt ratio, and profit margin. The Materials Buying Agent fully automates the purchasing process, and selects the best offers. The Gold Version's Game Chat window makes it easy to hold private meetings with colleagues, and even chat with your opponents.

The Accounting Upgrade provides comprehensive accounting tools, including a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, cash flow statement, and material costs analysis.

Whether you're a business manager who wants to learn more about the marketplace before starting your own company, an entrepreneur who likes to relax with a challenging simulation, or a student who wants to learn more about the machinations of the free enterprise system, IndustryPlayer provides the solution.
