Do you guys remember those classic business game cards we used to play as kids?
Suddenly, while exploring the Amazon Q game challenge, a wave of nostalgia hit me — why not recreate that fun digital version?
I took few minutes to build the entire game .
How We Used to Play
I almost forgot some of the rules
2 to 3 players (sometimes more!)
A board full of cities across India
We’d start by splitting the money we had
Roll the dice to move around the board
Buy cities when we landed on them
Pay rent if someone else owned the city
Encounter taxes, jail, lotteries along the way
And finally, the player with the most tickets (or assets) wins the game!
If you haven’t tried Amazon Q CLI yet, here’s a quick guide to get started:
- Install Q CLI on your machine
- Run q chat to start interacting
- Build your favorite games or apps!
Why Amazon Q Developer CLI?
It’s a powerful tool that simplifies working in Linux environments, saving you time and boosting productivity. Plus, it’s fun to build interactive CLI games — like our classic business board game!
