#WhatDidYouPlayMondays John Company

My second time playing this anti-colonialist title. I like how the mechanics help the players better impersonate the "bad guys" by having them constantly backstab each other while managing the same company. The final outcome is given by a simple ranking by score. Because of this, I am wondering what's preventing a player from having the company go bankrupt as soon as they get a slight edge. Is it the fear of ruining the whole game for everybody? Is it the Company Failure deck being super-random? I would test this myself, but I would need to be in the lead first lol
