Strategic Alliances Among Formal Competitors
In a Life Capital tournament, each 6-person team disperses across separate tables. At every single table, six teenage strangers — representing rival schools and regions — must negotiate, form joint investment syndicates, and trade capital assets.
The table is won by the player who builds the fastest alliances and still keeps their own liquidity intact.
Every table is presided over by a certified Master Trainer and an official Central Banker, ensuring complete adherence to simulation invariants and accurate portfolio audits.
