Description
In Black Friday, you're thrown into a world of high-stakes stock trading where the market is destined to crash. As one of 2 to 5 players, you'll navigate the ups and downs of the economy, trying to time your sales perfectly to maximize your profits. The twist is that the actions of all players affect the probability of the crash, so you'll need to keep a close eye on what others are doing to make your moves. As the game unfolds over about 55 minutes, you'll have to balance buying and selling shares with investing in gold and silver, which will ultimately determine your victory. With normal complexity rules, this 2010 game from designer Friedemann Friese is easy to learn for experienced board game players. Will you be able to read the market and your opponents to come out on top, or will you get caught in the crash?
