BEYA
You run a sumo stable. Develop training regimens and customize them individually on your rikishis’ (wrestlers’) body type (fat hippo or strongman?). Try winning more and more bouts and develop high ranking contenders to generate more income from prize money, advertisement and tourists wanting to visit your stable. Develop youth programs or buy prospects from overseas. Compare prices on groceries and look for deals to fund the massive amount of food intake that fattens up your fighters and experiment with diets.
Up morale by improving facilities, investing in a better cook or by taking your rikishis to the Geisha district after a good Basho (tournament). Discipline them when one gets into a bar fight and smears the name of your stable. Bribe officials and buy wins (short-term gain, long-term risk of exposure) or instruct your rikishis for more antics (which ups their popularity but can get them sanctioned by Sumo’s governing body). Find a repairman when the toilet cracks under the weight of your fattest rikishi and take your stable on a team-building weekend.
Goal is to become the most prestigious stable and obtain the highest rank of Yokozuna. A real-time strategy/ decision making/ management sim.
