Driven
Start with a shop, a newspaper or a carriage works in 1900 and build a business empire across 125 years. Design products part by part, run supply chains from mine to shop, fund laboratories, outlast rival dynasties and hand the company to your heirs, one month at a time.
A century of business, on a dashboard
Driven plays like the company's own dashboard: dense tables, charts and numbers rather than a city view. Industries rise and fade around you: the carriage works gives way to the motor car, the corner shop to the supermarket, the newspaper to streaming.
- 1900 to 2025Six eras, 106 kinds of business in 38 industries, and 22 historical events from the Panic of 1907 onwards.
- Design what you sellEvery product is built from parts, 594 in all, aimed at budget, mass-market or premium buyers.
- Supply chainsMines and plantations supply your works, steel mills your car plants, chip foundries your electronics.
- MoneyBorrow, issue bonds, list on the stock exchange, buy rivals, and from 1980 take them over with junk bonds.
- Rivals and familyThirteen rival tycoons who remember how you treated them, and a family that needs heirs and a succession plan.
- Your wayTurn by turn with a monthly report, or let time run; hand divisions to managers within limits you set.
