You are a stock broker in the industrial boom, buying and selling shares and then nudging the prices in whichever direction suits you. The clever bit is that you share your price-moving cards with your two neighbours, so everyone knows a slice of the future and nobody knows all of it. Whoever donates least to charity loses outright, no matter how rich they got.
Who it's for
Groups who like economic games with a nasty social constraint. Best at four.
Not for you if…
The automatic loss rule feels arbitrary to you, or you dislike games where a single end-game condition can undo an otherwise strong session.
Vibe's take
Sharp and social, with a running calculation of how little you can give away without becoming the loser.
