Description

Buy my game! I create a game from the ground up specifically for founders 🤯 it's called Pitch Please and I genuinely love playing it!

Prepare to hustle your way to the top in this cutthroat pitching showdown. Convince, charm, and con your way into the hearts and wallets of your competitors. Get ready to play the ultimate game of selling your soul for success.

The game is simple. Each round, every player matches a customer card with a product card and pitches the most absurd business they can imagine. The funniest and unequivocally worst idea wins.
