THE 2 PLAYER GAME

SETUP: There are two red Bidding tokens and 2 Red and 2 Blue Bidding Meeples. Each player takes one of the pairs and 30K to start with, but still only receives one starting stock.

INFORMATION PHASE: Each player is dealt two separate pairs of Company and Forecast Cards. The other two pairs are placed face-down next to the game board.

SUPPLY PHASE: Four of the stockpiles will be used. Place one card from the Market Deck face-up on the first four of them. Each player draws two cards from the Market Deck, places them (one up, one down), then draws two more cards and repeats.

DEMAND PHASE: Players alternate bidding, placing all meeples before any re-bidding, but a meeple may not be placed on a track with the same colour Meeple. Re-bidding alternates until all are on
separate Tracks. A player may bid twice in a row, but the combined bids may not exceed a player’s money.

He explains board games so well, he needs more subscribers!

I admire how you always manage to put sometimes overwhelming rulebooks, into a conscise and crystal clear explanation. These days I watch your 'how to play' video first and do some fine tuning from the rulebook if needed during play. Keep up the great work and thanks for all your efforts!!

[ashleyc]

I would never have guessed I'd be interested in a game about stocks but I can't get over the clever art and design of this one! Going onto my list!

[artofboardgaming]

Hey Rodney. Watched this video about month ago - Bought the game based on the mechanics and quality of the game that you clearly showed in your video. I finally played it for the first.... second.... and fourth time yesterday and love it! Keep up the great work!

[BigRenz]

Thanks for this video Rodney.
Made my job teaching my non-gamer family a lot easier!!!

[TheNerdShelves]

Playing this tonight with our game group and needed a refresher. As always, thanks Rodney, great teach!

[josephcomings]

So I'm 51 seconds in and my impression in this game is all about the illegal activity called... insider trading. I like it! A realistic, true to life, theme :-D

[ThePants]

great job Rodney. It's nice too see a gaming YouTuber actually create quality content. Every video is well made and fun to watch. Even if the game isn't my style I still like watching. Keep it up!

Thanks for another great instructional video! I played this 4 times last week with different groups and everyone had a blast. Would love to see you do a playthrough...or more specifically, I'd love to see Pep or Luke play a secret "stock bust" card to bankrupt a stock that you have 6-7 of...forcing u to discard all of them...the look on your face would be priceless **evil grin**

Watched the tutorial, bought the game, next thing to put it on the table, I think I'm gonna like it, cheers Rodney!

[joecaldwell]

These videos are always helpful, no matter how long it’s been.

[josephcomings]

Thanks for this review Rodney. Just added this game to my want to play list!

[d.l.]

Played it after watching your excellent tutorial, very easy to understand. The game is really fun, you can pretend you are on Wall Street.
Thanks Rodney, cheers!

[theAstarrr]

Definitely gonna buy this, looks very fun!

11:56 when you reveal you still get to keep the stocks right? The only purpose of not revealing in that case, is like you said to hide information

[samnichols]

Small world...ordered this game two days before this went up. Should be here tomorrow, and you only have me looking more forward to its arrival.

[garryhadlow]

Great explanation off the game i'm playing tonight. Subscribed too!

[iMacOwner]

Thanks for this WIP Rodney. Bought it because of you and will play it tonight !

[PlayBoye]

Rodney - you're awesome! Smooth rule explanation.

[TheCajuarez]

I would love to see a play-through of this game. It sounds really interesting!!
