MONOPSONY

I landed on Nunn-McCurdy three times in one game. Now I know how my company feels.

The Continuing Resolution event card is just cruel. Realistic, but cruel.

Finally, a game where 'lowest price technically acceptable' is actually a losing strategy.

My kids now understand why I come home muttering about color teams. Worth every penny.

The B&P resource management is terrifyingly accurate. I need a drink.

Won the contract, lost on sustainment margins. Just like real life.

As an FFRDC employee, I'm not allowed to play. Organizational conflict of interest.

I keep trying to write white papers instead of bidding. Old habits.

The GAO Audit card should make you rewrite everything in passive voice.

I tried to conduct an independent cost estimate mid-game. Nobody appreciated it.

This game moves faster than any acquisition I've ever run. Unrealistic but fun.

I protested three bids in a row. Some things never change.

The Budget Cuts corner triggers my end-of-fiscal-year PTSD. 10/10.

I instinctively started asking for CDRLs. My family staged an intervention.

Not enough PowerPoint. Otherwise disturbingly accurate.

Why isn't there a 'schedule TIM to discuss TIM scheduling' card?

I earmarked my way to victory. Art imitates life.

I tried to cancel a program. It came back with more funding. Just like real life.

Where's the card that lets me add requirements after source selection?

I spent the whole game asking for cost and schedule updates. Very immersive.

Lost a bid because I forgot the Organizational Conflict waiver. Too real.

The 'Revolving Door' card is OP. Just like real life.

I've spent more on lobbying in this game than actual R&D. Checks out.

Played for 4 hours. Still in Milestone B. Historically accurate.
