Top 49ers
The 2023 Top 49ers
At the top of their game
T
op 49ers are high-level players. The annual ranking is an indication of how well they improvise, explore the terrain, resolve conflicts, and play their assigned roles.

The “successful business” game never ends. It is a path. Along the way, players encounter creatures that may aid in their journey. These fantasy experts are keepers of fantastic advice for improving the character attributes of a business, the basic kit of skills that each player starts with.

Meet your guides: Moosicorn, the unicorn-moose of customer service; Minoxen, the musk ox minotaur of safety; HR Kraken, the sea monster of human resources; the ancient and savvy IT Dragon; and the calculating and convivial Finance Fairy. They represent five foundational principles that every business must engage with. None of the five can be avoided, but each company may approach them differently, leaning into some more strongly than others. For instance, a sole proprietor may have little need for HR and de-emphasize that principle (what players call a “dump stat”).

Different combinations of these five principles can lead to success. Ah, but what is success? Amassing a hoard of treasure is a valid victory condition, but it is not the only one. In this section, we ask Top 49ers what, other than revenue, they consider an indicator of success.

This section also visits a player who is not yet a Top 49er but is at the table, watching the game closely. ARG Industrial is accumulating experience and equipping itself to level up.

This year’s adventuring party is composed almost entirely of veterans. Only one Top 49er has never been on the list before. Flip to #47 to find out which.

The table is set, the cards are shuffled, and the dice have had all the 1s rolled out of them. Let the game begin!
