Super Game Empire

Don’t underestimate cards. If there is a rigorous scientific system, scientifically balanced rules, rich and interesting gameplay, and finally an excellent sales platform, cards will definitely become popular around the world, such as Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh!

cards, Pokemon, Hearthstone produced by Blizzard, etc. Magic: The Gathering has even become a national sports competition.

But it's only 1989, and these cards haven't appeared yet. The earliest Magic: The Gathering was only made in 1993, so Yang Yun decided to detonate this bomb in advance and be the first to eat crabs on the market.

The Three Kingdoms Killing Card actually follows a card rule. The originator of this card game idea is a Western cowboy style game called "Bang!" that is popular in the United States.

Sheriff (lord), deputy sheriff (loyal minister), traitor (traitor), gangster (anti-thief), the weapons used and the actions performed are basically the same, Bang = kill, Missed = flash, beer = peach

, Indian invasion = Southern Barbarian invasion, etc.

This game was released in 2002 and won honors such as the 2003 Global Best Traditional Card Game and Best Card Design Awards, becoming an enduring classic of tabletop card games.

Games such as Three Kingdoms and One Piece have absorbed the essence of the rules of "Bang!", and through appropriate changes, they have given a background story within a specific range, localized and interesting, and re-interpreted classics.

.

This is the same as "Close Your Eyes When It's Dark" that will become popular all over the world in the future. It is a group game played under certain rules and through rational and balanced design. It is a test of intelligence and mental strength, a game that competes eloquence and reasoning ability.

Favored by players with high IQs.

It’s just that the background of the story of Three Kingdoms may not meet international requirements, so Yang Yun hopes to cooperate with Parker Brothers to jointly launch this "Bang!" game card and promote it to the world, so that "Bang!" and Tianhei please

Close your eyes, these games have become popular games for people with high IQs, and then they are bundled and sold in Three Kingdoms, with more advanced and richer and more exciting gameplay, making Three Kingdoms a hot seller. Unknowingly, they are recognized by the players, and this can also play a role in promoting the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

.

The best scenario is that the game "Please Close Your Eyes after Dark" is popular all over the world, and the "Bang!" card game becomes popular. After everyone is familiar with the rules, more fun, more expansion packs, and more content-rich Three Kingdoms killing cards and bundles will be launched.

The Longteng Three Kingdoms games and Yi Zhongtian's Three Kingdoms are sold as strategies for Three Kingdoms. Anyone who doesn't know how to play Three Kingdoms should first play Longteng Three Kingdoms and read the book Yi Zhongtian's Three Kingdoms.

A science student from Princeton University cannot understand Liu Bei's benevolence and virtue function of sending cards, so go study the Three Kingdoms!

An MBA from Cambridge University doesn't understand Zhang Fei's roaring unlimited killing skills, so go study the Three Kingdoms!

A Munich car designer doesn’t know why Hua Tuo’s peach can save lives. Go study the Three Kingdoms!

So since there is such a good opportunity, "Bang!" and the Three Kingdoms Killing card game, Yang Yun absolutely cannot miss it. As for whether Three Kingdoms Killing can be successful, he will have to do it anyway. Give it a try, he will not lose.

Yang Yun did not simply find a paper factory in China, buy a few cutting machines, and start printing a complete set of 265 cards in the Three Kingdoms Game. He did not panic and print all the expansion packs of General Lin Huoshuo and Famous. He just did not want to let the poor domestic players

The environment ruins this game.

What he wants is a high starting point, either not to make cards, but to be the best in the world and lead the world trend!

It's a pity that George Parker is not interested...

Damn it! This damn politics is killing people! Yang Yun thought angrily.

It's not a problem to be so silent all the time. Alexey asked in a low voice: "Are you going to jointly set up a factory in the United States with him?"

A flash of inspiration!

A word that wakes up the dreamer!

That’s right! If China is blocked, then I can just come to the United States to set up a factory!

At first, I always thought of setting up a factory in China because domestic land is cheap, labor costs are low, wages are low, and profits are high. It can also be given as a political achievement gift to Zhu Shuguang and others. This is a great achievement in attracting investment!

As a result, I set a certain formula for myself, as if setting up a factory must be done in China.

Yang Yun smiled. The U.S. blockade has only been going on for a year and a half. When China and the United States exchange visits with their leaders, I don’t know how diligent the trade between the two sides will be. When the time comes, they will relocate the factory to the country and it will just be a business.

It’s just a time difference!

Yang Yun smiled and said: "Mr. Parker, maybe I expressed it incorrectly. I just want to ask, are Parker Brothers willing to accept a Chinese partner?"

George Parker relaxed his brows, this is the most correct thing to do!

"I wonder if Mr. Yang has any suggestions?"

"How about we jointly invest in a factory to produce killing game cards?"

Bang! and the concepts and rules of Three Kingdoms. Before Yang Yun came to the United States, he contacted Alexei’s lawyer friend in Hong Kong and applied for registration of patent protection for this type of card game. By the way, the game Please Close Your Eyes When It’s Dark

The game copyright has also been applied for.

The rules of the game "Please close your eyes after dark" are very special. There are not many identity cards in this game. What is important is the novel and innovative game rules. They can be promoted through Parker Brothers' game brochures and other offline methods. Yang Yun can only

With copyright, you can define and name it, but if you want to make exclusive profits, it is impossible.

In real history, it was only in the 1990s that someone gradually summarized the rules of the killing game and spread them on a small scale. Therefore, Yang Yun was not worried about infringements and took them into his pocket in advance.

Borrowing the venue and tools from Downey's Toy Store, Yang Yun made a stack of simple cards saying "Please close your eyes when it gets dark" on the spot, and held it in Downey's Toy Store in the most popular format of 12 people, 3 policemen and 3 killers.

A live game.

judge,police,killer,civilian,charge,vote,kill,out!

This is a fresh game that has never been played before. Hearing these exciting keywords, the employees of Downey Toy Store and some curious customers became very interested.

Yang Yun assumed the role of judge, organized people, and publicly explained the rules of the game.

The game "Please close your eyes after dark" is not difficult. The difficulty lies in whether the players cooperate and whether the judge can control the scene and be absolutely fair to ensure that there will be no mistakes during the game.

Fortunately, the invited employees and customers were all high-quality people, and with the participation of high-profile figures such as George Parker and Downey Jr., the game went smoothly.

After drawing the cards, according to the rules of the game, Alexei became the killer, George Parker and Downey were both police officers. Under the command of Yang Yun, everyone entered the state, was very qualified and obeyed the command.

The first time we played, the police team who cooperated tacitly won the victory. Alexey was the first to be arrested early, causing a lot of jokes.

The display here is almost enough. There are some things that everyone knows very well. A shrewd person like George Parker has long seen the huge market prospects of this game.

The three of them sat down again, and George Parker asked with a smile: "This game is very interesting. If it is promoted vigorously, more people should fall in love with it. But what about the pure card battle game that Mr. Yang mentioned?

What's going on?"

Yang Yun smiled mysteriously: "I have two other more interesting card games. As long as Mr. Parker agrees to accept me as a Chinese partner, I will tell you the truth!"

George Parker laughed: "Can I refuse? Yang, no matter what we talk about today, you are going to crown the chief justice's hat on my head! I think I have been hooked on this game!"

Yang Yun said with a smile: "How about I turn Downey's Toy Store into my own stage during these few days in the United States?"

George Parker exaggeratedly turned his head and shouted: "Donny! You won the American Super Lotto!"

…

…

Five days later, Alexei still has not received any news from Nintendo. He is desperate. Nintendo must have rejected KTT’s unreasonable request!

"Damn it! Although you are the boss, you also have my interests in it!" Alexei came to Downey's Toy Store angrily, and he decided to let Yang Yun learn a lesson for his arrogance!

Fifth Avenue is a famous commercial street, and Downey's Toy Store is in a prime location. Disney and Hasbro cartoon characters are on sale at the door of the store every day, making it very popular with women and children.

But today, Alexey discovered something different. Hundreds of young people lined up in a long and winding queue in front of Downey's Toy Store, blocking most of the street!

Everyone was talking excitedly, looking at the freckles on their faces, the high-definition glasses many of them wore, and the words killer, judge, etc. that popped out of their mouths, and they argued a few words from time to time.

"What are you waiting in line to buy?" Alexei was not sure.

A few boys looked surprised and asked, "You didn't know? Of course I bought the killing game commemorative package! The only Downey Toy Store in New York sells it and teaches you how to play it!"

"There is a murderous whirlwind in New York, and it has spread to all universities! Almost everyone at Columbia University is talking about it!"

"We at New York University are the same, but there are only a few people who know how to play a little bit. I must learn it today!"

Another male voice interrupted: "It's not just New York, I came from MIT! This kind of high-IQ game is certainly worthy of our study!"

"Really? You guys at MIT have also heard about this game? Then Harvard should also know about it, right? It seems like this is really a game only played by people with high IQs!"

"I must buy the limited edition gift pack! The killing game will definitely become the most classic high-IQ game in history!"

"..."

Alexey finally understood that in just five days, Yang Yun and George used unknown methods to spread the killing game to many Ivy League universities, and successfully promoted it as a game only played by those with high IQs.

The game has been sought after by countless college students!

Walking into Downey's toy store, Alexei saw Yang Yunzheng and shop owner Downey, sitting at two large square tables respectively, leading a group of customers to play "Please Close Your Eyes After Dark" for a real experience of the game.

Different from normal games, most of the people who were killed opened their eyes with great interest and watched Yang Yun preside over the game. At critical moments, they would show expressions of enlightenment and a deeper understanding of the rules.

Every customer who feels that they have learned it will buy a limited edition collector's edition promotional package of "Please Close Your Eyes When Dark" in the toy store.

This limited edition souvenir package not only contains a detailed introduction to the rules of the game, but also includes exquisite murder gifts, identity masks, patrol whistles, accomplice communicators and other peripheral products specially prepared by Parker Brothers.

And in the gift package, Parker Brothers left a hint letter. During the Christmas period, they may launch a brand new card game, which is more exciting and fun than Shut Your Eyes After Dark. This makes buyers full of expectations.

!

There is a statistics board on the checkout counter. The big numbers show that 35,830 copies of the limited collector's edition gift pack worth US$20 have been sold, and the total sales have reached US$716,600!

This is just a limited edition gift bag, and it actually contributed 710,000 US dollars in sales! Alexey was silent, but he knew that this was just the beginning. Before Yang Yun and Parker Brothers reached an agreement on cooperation, Parker Brothers

The company has not started to exert its efforts at all!

When a table of games ended, ten college students stood up one after another, smiled, shook hands with Downey, hugged, and then ran to the cashier to pay for their purchases.

After the female cashier handed over the gift bag, she erased the numbers on the statistics board and, under Downey's instruction, wrote a new line: "Limited to 50,000 copies! 14,160 copies left!"

"What? Why is there a limit?" A tall college student asked anxiously.

The female clerk smiled and replied: "Of course the limited edition will be limited. There are only 14,160 copies left, not many! Maybe they can all be sold out today!"

Alexey feels that Downey's store clerks really know how to understand customers' psychology. These numbers imply that hurry up and buy. If you don't buy, it will be too late.

But there are still more than 10,000 copies left, how could they be sold out in one day! Alexei didn’t believe it at all.

The tall boy also didn't believe it and asked hesitantly: "Can I help bring one to my roommate?"

The clerk shook his head: "Sorry, customers must purchase in person. This is the rule in all Downey toy stores across the country, so as to ensure fairness."

"Jane! Princeton has reserved 530 copies!" A clerk ran out of the inner room and shouted to the cashier.

Cashier Jane responded, and then re-edited the statistics board numbers. The remaining amount became 13630, which shocked the hesitant boy.

"Unfair! Why can Princeton University be booked? Our Columbia University is also in the Ivy League!"

"Yes! You are not allowed to take it away. What is the rule? Why can others buy 530 copies?"

"You can't do this, it's discrimination!"

A group of students who had not yet left gathered around again and protested loudly.

Downey came over and reassured: "This is an order from Downey Toy Store in Princeton, not Princeton University. This just means that there are 530 Princeton customers who have participated in the local Please Close Your Eyes After Dark game experience. But Downey across the country

Among the Nigerian toy stores, only the New York headquarters has the goods, so out-of-town customers can only order by phone, and we will deliver them tomorrow."

"Jane! The University of Pennsylvania has 954 reservations!" The annoying phone caller came out again. Cashier Jane calmly wiped the statistics board and the number became 12,676.

While everyone was stunned, Downey said calmly: "Maybe you don't know, but the limited edition gift packs started selling this morning. Our Downey Toy Store in San Francisco has reserved 20,000 copies. Engineers from Caltech and Silicon Valley,

They love this game so much that even Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are asking me for it!"

Before he finished speaking, the phone man came again: "Jane! Princeton is adding 190 copies! Their store is about to be trampled down by those students!"

Downey personally changed the number to 12,486 and shouted: "Let those guys in Princeton stop selling! Leave more for our children in New York!"

The phone call boy was shocked, agreed and turned around to leave, because the damn ringtone came again!

Jane looked at the group of dazed college students and said with a smile: "What are you still stunned for? Tell your classmates to come quickly! If it is late, it will be out of stock!"

Wow!

A group of students ran out frantically looking for a public phone, rushing people in line who didn't know the truth. Downey and his clerks laughed happily and gave high-fives in celebration!

"Yang... you are really a madman... and a genius!" Alexey couldn't comment anymore. He shook his head towards his partner, the young boss, and could no longer muster the courage to argue.
