Profit is Paramount. Ethics are Optional.

Rules of Acquisition: A Ferengi Profiteering Game is a satirical, turn-based trading game where players step into the well-shined shoes of an ambitious Ferengi entrepreneur. Designed with Star Trek lore at its core, the game revolves around navigating volatile galactic markets, sabotaging rivals, and exploiting every opportunity to climb the golden ladder to Grand Nagus. Each turn delivers unpredictable events, Rule of Acquisition card effects (some real, some suspiciously self-serving), and actions like trade, travel, bribe, or sabotage — all while managing your reputation with five key factions, from the uptight Federation ethics board to the ever-welcoming Orion Syndicate.

Created as both a parody and a celebration of capitalist chaos, the game plays like a Ferengi simulator — full of cunning decisions, shady deals, and the occasional “accidental” audit. With rich thematic writing, dynamic reputation mechanics, and victory conditions ranging from galactic dominance to total financial implosion, Rules of Acquisition offers a unique, re-playable experience for fans of Star Trek, strategy games, or just good old-fashioned profit.
