Shell Company: Don’t Write Me Off

Welcome to the high-paced world of turtle dating! Your goal is to run the most successful turtle dating company, helping to romance turtles and sweep them right out of their shells. But youre not the only one vying for their attention; you might find yourself at odds with a rival company as you attempt to woo these reptiles. You better make sure you have just the right gifts to make the best impression. If that doesnt work, you could always donate the gifts and write off the expenses. After all, its not just about the love; its also about the money.

Shell Company – Dont Write Me Off is the first in a series of games Born at PAX. What does Born at PAX mean? We at Lynnvander Studios teamed up with the PAX team to run a panel called Design a Board Game Live. Shell Company – Dont Write Me Off was conceived by the crowd at PAX East 2022. They came up with the combination of turtle dating sim and tax evasion, and we refined their ideas into the board game youre holding now!

Shell Company is an auction-style bidding game with a touch of bluffing where players will need to manage their finances in order to acquire gifts. These gifts can either be used to romance potential clients, or they can be donated and used as a tax write-off. Both of these things are important because players are scored based on their weaker area.
