DEPLOY!

DEPLOY! is a challenging highly themed business strategy game involving worker placement, resource management, set collection and an asymmetric upgrade mechanism. In DEPLOY!, players enter into projects and deploy the needed IT workloads onto their servers to gain money and business value. Each player’s board represents a server-room with three capacity pools (A, B and C) supporting a different mix of workloads. The main board is used to track the progress of the game as well as each player’s worker usage, income and business value points. It also holds the available capacity cards (pool ‘A’ and pool ‘B’) and the available projects. The game runs over five rounds, after which, the winning player is the one that has the most business value; earned from deployed projects, running an optimised server-room and supporting cloud deployments.
