The situation

A dinner party. The host seated you next to the one investor you most want, who has loudly said she is bored of founders pitching over dessert. Your company rents herds of goats to mow suburban lawns and clear brush near wildfire zones. You have a mouthful of salmon and about four courses. You also have a laptop in the car, a two-year waitlist of homeowners' associations, and a herd named after famous chefs. The other guests keep refilling glasses and sneaking glances. Read the table, win the room, and make the ask before the cheese arrives. Her spouse is already laughing. The host fears a hard sell will sour the evening, and the other guest is a veterinarian with views on goats. Talk alone will not move her; a plan, a number and a Monday meeting will.

What the simulation expects

No read yet for this simulation.

This is the simulation’s read, not a forecast that it is right.

How scoring works

You have 8 turns. You win by bringing the table to at least 65% support. Your points come from how much of the table you bring around, with each person counted by how much their view carries. Each turn you say one thing. The table moves on what you say; reach 65% to win. Every turn is re-checked from the moves you made, so the score can be reproduced.

A limited number of turns are free. After that, each turn costs credits. The game shows what you have left before you spend anything.
