Family business. 3 to 6 players, or solo. Wednesday to Friday, with a live finale on Friday at 5pm.

Heir Apparent

Walter Kessler built 140 bakeries from one oven. On Friday night he names which of his three children takes over.

On Wednesday the family's secret succession plan, and the lowest price they'd sell for, is all over a City gossip site. A London fund bids within the hour. Each of you works for a different Kessler.
