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.

About this game

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.
