A worker placement game about collecting comics as a kid, where putting an issue on display scores you points but also raises that series' value for every rival holding the same books.

Who it's for

Larger groups who like economic euros wrapped in a theme that actually makes them smile.

Not for you if…

You would rather not spend ninety minutes tracking share-price-style values across a set collection.

Vibe's take

Warm and surprisingly sharp – the nostalgia is genuine, but the market manipulation underneath rewards cold arithmetic.
