JUGAAD

जुगाड़
Founder mode: ON.

A startup roguelike deckbuilder. Pitch your way from HSR Layout to Dalal Street while Mummy keeps sending rishtas.

Early demo — asks for a login. Mouse and keyboard: best on a laptop.

JUGAAD cover art

Pick a founder: the IIT bro in HSR Layout, the D2C queen in Lower Parel, or Sukhi, the dhandha guy from Ludhiana.

Every fight is a negotiation. Angel uncles, landlords, GST officers, the Shark Tank panel. Nobody gets punched; everybody gets pitched.

Chase valuation and your final boss is your own board. Chase revenue and it's Papa Ji.

Jugaad, once a turn.Throw away two cards and make something out of nothing.
Shaadi Pressure.Family cards are cheap and strong. Play too many and you're at a rishta meeting.
Valuation vs revenue.Two ways to win, two different endings.
The desk is now a boat.Act 1, Bengaluru. Forty minutes of rain, a ground-floor office.
