My go-to late game strat is outsourcing the sales team from Sacramento to the Philippines.
Comment on I'm interested. Any ideas?

Produced by Cutco, Knife Monopoly is a cut-throat game where you start as a humble knife salesman looking to build a bleeding edge cutlery empire. Journey across the world, from Damascus to Japan, to steal the secrets of steel while managing a diverse range of assets and allies: iron mines in Nigeria, sales teams in Sacramento, Sicilian hitmen, Nipponese Yakuza, and Bob from HR.
The winner is declared after cornering the worldwide cutlery market and completing the Iron Chef Triathlon with the battle cry:
“AND IT STILL CUTS A TOMATO!”

Aha! A man who appreciates Bob’s value - I salute you sir!
Side note, he has 10 points in headhunting, which applies to both your Sicilian hitmen and Nipponese Yakuza in some of the end game action.

Can’t use it in an Iron Chef competition. It would void the warranty. Warranty clearly states that it doesn’t cover any commercial uses.
Thanks for the horror flashbacks though.

It’s a common misconception that the publicly funded Iron Chef Triathlon is the same as the televised Iron Chef competition.
The Iron Chef Triathlon consists of 3 sections - the Hungry Run, he Spicy Bike, and the Dim Sum Swim. Throughout this competition the Chef is limited to one set of knives.
The Hungry Run is a 2700 mile long foot race from Los Angeles to New York. Throughout the run, the Chefs compete by only cooking with locally grown organic vegetables. As this route passes through what in America is known as the Food Desert of Midwest (including the horror of Kansas), where factory farming dominates, it was given the name Hungry Run as many of the Chefs could not find sufficient food to eat, and refused to tarnish their reputation by making corndogs.
The Spicy Bike is a 6,900 km bike race from Istanbul to Calcutta, throughout which each evening the Chefs compete by preparing for the locals a dish from their regional cuisine. The locals then vote to disqualify one of the contestants, who they often rob and/or harvest the organs of depending on the laws of the local municipality.
The Dim Sum Swim is a roughly 15000 km swim race around the coast of Australia, both beginning and ending in the Sydney harbor. Throughout the race, the Chefs must both harvest and prepare Dim Sum from the waters they pass through, towing a small inflatable cooking raft with a propane stove. Elimination of the Chefs at this stage is done via box jellyfish and saltwater crocodiles.
At the end of the swim, if the Chef’s knife is still sharp enough to cut a tomato, he wins the title… and thus Knife Monopoly.
Truly the most dangerous game…

Don’t you mean 2700 leagues?
