Offering Phase (IPO)
All products are now set up for sale in an IPO (Initial Public Offering). A 6-sided die is rolled for each product: if the roll value is equal to or less than the number of chips on the product, the IPO succeeds; otherwise, it fails. In a success, each chip pays out cash equal to the value of the die roll. A player with multiple shares, then, will earn a higher multiple of the payout. The investment chips on the product are returned to their owners, and the product is removed from the game. In a failure, the product and investment chips remain in the game, and a single foreign investor chip will be added to the product. It will be easier for the product to pay out on the next round, but there are otherwise no other effects.
Limited-Edition Decoy Bicycle: Success! Each chip is worth a paltry $1!
Evil Alien Shampoo: Success! Each chip gets $1!
The Cute Virus: Failure! Failure! Failure!
Mysterious French Doll Lotion: Failure! Oh no!
Unsinkable Denture Bombs: Failure! Agggh!
Sexy Sushi: Failure! My life is a lie!
Computer Chainsaw: Failure! The economy is bad apparently!
Scandalous Government Origami Gloves: Failure!
Bargain Waterproof Horseless Magnet Car: Failure!
Artificial Scientific Pontiff: Failure! But it was close!
Eco-Friendly Flying Orchestra: Failure! Bleh.
Invisible Cyber-Dog: Faaaaiilluurree.
End of Turn and Game
At the end of the Offering Phase, all players are allowed to discard as many noun and adjective cards as they wish before drawing back up to three of each. (The decks will be reshuffled if they run out.) Then the role of lead player passes to the next player. Once all players have acted as lead players, then the game is over and the player with the most amount of cash is the winner.
Seeing as I have no chance of winning this at all anymore, my next pitch will be back to MSPaint. Curse you people, getting rich off of my successful products.

I don't think I could have handled another youtube video, Daius.
I had to go to Krata's computer to watch it. as my computer hates youtube.
Bum Corp, having successfully marketed all sorts of goodies out of our trip to Mars and discovery of life there, has decided to relax in the south of France. While there, we discovered something awesome.
Fantastically awesome. So awesome it sells itself.
That's right: Old-fashioned Wine.
Alcohol: it's what's for dinner.
We will invest in this product.

Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
If there's one problem I've always tend to have it's that whenever I enjoy playing my Bagpipe it always is just so cold when I start and it takes half my energy just to get to a reasonable and stable temperature. Also I'm always jealous of my guitar playing buddies who always get these super fast riffs that I just don't have the speed to do.

If I had gotten some decent rolls instead of all my stuff paying off for 1 or 2 I would be totally beating you.
We shall see, my darling. We shall see.

They are like regular flowers but you can't stop buying them.
