Kotlin - The board game!
Could you be JetBrains? Placate feature-hungry developers; quell the tide of bugs, raise and nurture an ecosystem of libraries, decide which of your portfolio of IDE's to sacrifice to achieve your grand strategy, all while planning an entirely new IDE platform!?

Here are the rules:

Objective
Ascend to JetBrains legend status by amassing the most kudos to help launch the revolutionary IDE 'Fleet'. Manage your IDEs and Libraries with savvy, and navigate the quirks of software development to come out on top!

Contents:
• 1 Game board with multiple paths, including the 'Coroutine Conundrum' and the coveted 'Fleet Finish Line'.
• Hexadecimal dice.
• A deck of IDE cards to represent your software arsenal.
• Two decks of Library cards: the reliable Official JetBrains and the unpredictable Community collection.
• The YouTrack Stack of Bugs, each card representing a challenge to overcome.
• Kudos counters to keep track of your software development prowess.
• Player pieces that resemble the iconic Kotlin logo.
Setup:
Unfold the board on your favourite surface and deal each player 3 IDE cards, 1 Official Library card, and 1 Community Library card. Place the Bug cards on the YouTrack space, symbolizing your list of tasks.

Gameplay:
1. Roll the hexadecimal dice to advance. The outcome is as intricate as Kotlin’s clever constructs.
2. Deploy Library cards beside your piece to accumulate kudos each turn. Balancing your portfolio is key!
3. The longer you keep a Library card, the more kudos you get. Just be cautious with Community Libraries – they can flip faster than a developer switching from dark mode to light.
4. IDE cards are precious assets. They increase your kudos, but could they be better used to boost Fleet's progress?
5. Encountering a Bug card means tackling an issue that could disrupt your flow. Handle them wisely to keep moving forward.
Special Features:
• Coroutine Conundrum: Land on this space and duplicate your piece, enabling you to cover more ground just like a multitasking coroutine.
• Sacrificial Commit: Choose to retire a Library card to contribute its kudos to Fleet's development. It's a strategic move that could secure your lead.
How to Win:
Collect enough kudos to be the main contributor to Fleet's launch and win the admiration of developers everywhere.

Conclusion:
The game ends triumphantly with the successful launch of Fleet or when the challenges become too great, and the team must regroup and plan for the next iteration.

And Remember:
In the world of JetBrains, it's not only about the points—it's about the innovation and success of the launch. So, strategize wisely, and may the best developer's vision prevail!

A board game for team-building and seminars!

I think Dall-E forgot the “t” in JetBrains, but cool nonetheless!

Call it a feature not a bug... didn't fancy infringing too much on official branding 😅
