Carnegie the board game was inspired by the life of Andrew Carnegie who was born in Scotland in 1835. Andrew Carnegie and his parents emigrated to the United States in 1848. Although he began his career as a telegraph operator, he eventually became one of the key players in the rise of the American steel industry. That made him one of the richest men in the world and an icon of the American Dream. Andrew Carnegie was also a benefactor and philanthropist; after his death in 1919, more than $350 million of his fortune was bequeathed to various foundations, with another $30 million going to various charities. His donations created nearly 2,500 free public libraries that bear his name: the Carnegie Libraries. During the game, you recruit and manage employees, expand your business, invest in real estate, produce and sell goods, and create transportation chains across the United States; you can even work with important personalities of the time. The game takes place over 20 rounds; players each have one turn per round. On each turn, the active player chooses one of four actions, which the other players may follow. The aim of the game is to build the most prestigious company, symbolized by victory points.

You are a team of researchers working for the Institute for Wildlife Conservation (IWC), and your mission is to stop the extinction of several species. As representatives of the IWC, you go to different parts of the world to research and protect endangered fauna. In this cooperative trick card game you have to communicate well and work together as a team. Each round consists of a series of 8 turns (or strokes) for each player. The first animal card played in a trick determines the color of that trick. The other players must, if possible, play an animal card of the same color. The player who plays the card with the highest value in the suit of a trick wins that trick. When all tricks have been played, each player with one or more mission cards must complete their mission(s) by collecting (from their battle pile) all of the animal cards shown on their mission card(s). If even one of the missions is not completed successfully, players will immediately lose the game. However, if all players' mission cards are successfully completed, players advance to the next round

As heroes, you work together to defeat mythological monsters. Players cannot see each other's cards and are not allowed to communicate with each other to give hints about the cards they have. Over the course of 1 to 12 missions, players battle a series of terrifying monsters. Each mission requires defeating 7 monsters without running out of cards. Fate is in your hands! On your turn, you must choose and perform one of the following 5 actions: Fight, Move, Heal, Support, or Consult the Oracle. Each of these actions will help you fend off any monsters you face, so play your cards wisely. If you consult the Oracle, you can even influence the next 6 cards from the draw pile. A mission is won when the last Chimera is defeated. If a player runs out of action cards in their hand and has to take cards from the draw pile when it runs out, the mission is lost. But if the draw pile runs out and the players can still take turns with the cards in their hands, the mission can still be won.
