Stockpile: Core Board Game (Retail Edition)

Board Game Geek Rating: 7.05. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.65. This is the retail version of the Stockpile board game, published in 2017 and suitable for 2 to 5 players. Stockpile is an exciting economic board game. It combines the classic 'buy low, sell high' stockholding strategy with other mechanisms for a fast - paced and interactive experience. In the game, you become a stock market investor in the late 20th century, aiming to get rich. The one with the most money at the end wins. Each round, you get insider information about how a stock's value will change, letting you act before the market. You also buy stocks by bidding on stockpiles of cards, some face - up and some face - down. This creates uncertainty as not all cards are good, and trading fees can add costs. With stock market elements, you need to consider many factors when selling stocks. Will you hold for a split, sell to avoid bankruptcy, or diversify your portfolio? It all comes down to your strategy. At TheGameSteward, we're excited to offer Stockpile Core Board Game. A significant part of your purchase will support new Kickstarter games.

How to play: First, each player becomes a stock market investor. At the start of each round, you'll get insider information about how a stock's value will change. Use this to decide whether to buy or sell stocks at the right time. To buy stocks, bid on stockpiles of cards. Remember, these stockpiles have a mix of face - up and face - down cards from other players. The goal is to end the game with the most money. Things to note: Not all cards in the stockpiles are good. Trading fees can make you pay more than your bid. Think carefully before investing a lot in one company. Try to diversify your portfolio to reduce risk. Maintenance advice: Keep the game in a dry and cool place. Make sure to store the cards properly so they don't get bent or damaged. If you're not playing for a while, put the game back in its box to protect it.
