Description
Get ready to become the ultimate Smartdealer in Smart, a game of strategic trading and emotional management. In this 45-minute game for 3 to 4 players, you'll navigate the city, buying, selling, and using Smarts to outmaneuver your opponents and become the owner of three new Smartshops. The game is set in Smartcity, where the popularity of different types of Smarts varies from neighborhood to neighborhood, and your goal is to supply the right Smarts to the right places at the right time. As you trade Smarts, you'll need to keep an eye on your emotional state, which is influenced by the Smarts you "eat" - the ones you supply but don't sell. Your emotional situation is tracked on the Emotionhead display, which shows how Relaxed, Dull, Hyper, or Heavy you are. Managing your emotions is crucial, as it affects the actions you can take to improve your Smarttrade. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, Smart is easy to learn, but challenging to master. You'll need to balance good bidding, selling, and "eating" strategies to come out on top. Sometimes, it's better to "take it easy" and wait for the right moment to strike. Will you be the one to play Smart and emerge victorious?
