I got the game used and it had the forecast cards all shuffled together so we have been playing from a deck of shuffled cards. The dice actually makes the game less random but drawing from the deck is maybe more realistic.

I backed the game and this expansion. In fact, I just received the expansion the other day. I am jumping into it tomorrow and I can't wait! You're right. Excellent game!

[ianoble]

Played the base game a ton. Cannot wait for the expansion!

This is also an automatic buy for me, great review Tom.

[sangles]

I think commodities on stock are like bribes, thematic wise. Can't wait to play it :)

[maewilkes]

I haven't played the base game yet. Will it be easy enough to understand with this expansion from the get go?

[vire]

Not sure how I feel about the dice. I like the addition of higher rises and higher falls, but I feel like the randomness of the dice takes away a lot of the high level strategy of the game. Maybe not though, since you can still sort of 'card count' like you could in the base game? Interested to get a few games in with a different combination of the new additions.

Geez, Tom. Tell us what you really think. (No one ever says that for positive reviews.)

I backed this and can't wait to add it to the game!

"..as a very honest businessperson..." Do i detect a hint of sarcasm or cynicism ?

[MattNinety]

Insider trading is a form of private corruption, where there's the use of an entrusted position for self-regarding gain. So, you're dealing with corruption in the entire game! :D

How can one says he is honest business person when he is involving insider trading?
