IT Startup: Tech Fodder: Infinite Combo Walkthrough

Hi there!

Let’s start with the disclaimer: ^^

This infinite combo you will soon learn, is not intended to create one way of playing the game to dominate it entirely. It is just a fun thing you might try and see.

I don’t have any opinion on whether it should be nerfed or not: I believe players should know better to how to have fun, if they don’t like the overpowered techniques they can opt out of using it themselves, rather than demanding to get policed on every single thing.
But I would also understand if developers would aim to perfect their art and product, in a way that would not allow such unbalanced combos to occur, and therefore it would get fixed.
Either way, it was fun discovering and implementing it, and I will share it whole of my heart with you guys, enjoy! 🙂

There is three main pieces for this whole engine to work:
1 of: The Nice Hr Lady + (Upgraded version) ————— 2 of: BizDev Tony

Well, if you are already well acquainted with this game, you might have already caught on with what is going on here. It is really that simple:

First step: You put two Tony’s while leaving a spot between them,

Second step: Sell two cards to generate two burnout on each of the Tony’s,
While gaining at least two resource and drawing 4 cards as a simple by product.
(if this is is your second cycle or after, one of those 4 cards you drew should also be “Nice Hr Lady” So you have to have a reasonably little amount of cards in your decks for this to happen.)

Third Step: Deploy the Nice Lady between them. Resetting their burnout to zero.

Fourth Step: You have gained enough “Good Company Bonus” to activate “Refresh Fire Off”.

Fifth Step: Fire Nice Lady.

Profit and Repeat.

Here is an example state of the board from my latest game:

Now, This infinite combo alone does not profit all by it self, well…
It creates resources all right, but how to efficiently use those resources?

I suggest “Project Manager” :

There are many options out there, one other time I have also used “Scrum Ninja”, it is a card that gains efficiency(developer points) if burnout gets removed from a developer adjacent to it.

But Project Manager could just be the simplest and quickest.

And on the way I also suggest getting yourself a “Backup Turtle”:
With that, you don’t need to find second Tony, and you can use two Project Manager as easily too.

One other way to profit from this whole combo:
Beside winning the round, combined with the “Financial Planning: Gain 32 dollar Run Money each time you Fire” and the Module that gives you 16 dollar Run Money each time Good Company Bonus triggers, you can also generate infinite Run Money with this combo, basically winning the game in its entirety.

The two, meanest twin brothers straight from Italy, had started to work day and night for their new company. But it was also uncertain whether the company was actually working for them.

For you see: they had criminal connections, and they were in some shady businesses: day and night they were able to trade up the company assets like ice-cream truck in the summer.

While they were bringing much profit, they were also under the heavy stress of… getting caught? By cops? How illegal was this whole thing really? Who could say? But they certainly were pampered by all the management and upper levels, they were treated as near CEOs, because… people were scared of them? Probably. Nonetheless, they would share the plight of burnout with all their coworkers, despite all their comforts.

One day, when those twin brothers Tony one and two, were really feeling off, were near quitting…
A miracle happened! Susan from HR, known as Nice Lady brought them some good treats, all white… sugar? Tony’s were surprised! Such a stash of candies, where did Susan get all of it? Wasn’t she scared of getting caught?

Susan Replied: “Some rules are to be broken to have some fun.”

But the treat has run out quick, Tony’s needed more, so they have ran to Susan, begging for more, Susan said: “Okay, I have some friends in Colombia, I could go and get some more, but the company would need to fire me, you see, my friends are real outlaws, they don’t like corporate leash, they abhor and detest our little cubicles of fun. I need to be there independently or the trade would not work, this is our little secret, they will never know.”

So Susan went, and came back, the ensuing parties were legendary, company doubled their profit!! But alas white had to flow, it could not run out! So Susan went, Susan came…

The Nice HR Lady, was the saviour of the day, her legend is still spoken to this day.
If you behave nicely and burn the midnight oil a little more, you might get a visit from her too…

Hope you enjoyed it all,
Take care,
Goodbye. ^^
