Try to gain as much gold as possible by dealing in shares before the huge stock market crash. Try to earn enough cash by cleverly buying and selling shares so that you can spend it on the coveted precious metal. If you are the best in manipulating the market development and share prices, you have the biggest chances to win the game.

Black Friday includes an independently acting opponent, the M.I.B.S. (minimally intelligent broker service), and depending on the number of players you have, you may be able to opt to play with or without the M.I.B.S. Are you able to cut it down in size?

Black Friday is a completely revised and updated edition of the version from 2010.

Great update to the game

The game has always been great, if hard to learn from the rulebook. This edition is clearer, more streamlined, and in a small Carcassonne-sized box. Fantastic edition.

Black Friday (New Edition)

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"

Darkest Dungeon

I ordered this 2 weeks ago and still did not even receive it before it asks me to review this.
