About This Game About the game--------------------------------------------------------Stockpile is an economic board game that combines the traditional stockholding strategy of buy low, sell high with several additional mechanisms to create a fast-paced, engaging and interactive experience.In Stockpile, players act as stock market investors at the end of the 20th century hoping to strike it rich, and the investor with the most money at the end of the game is the winner. Stockpile centers on the idea that nobody knows everything about the stock market, but everyone does know something. In the game, this philosophy manifests in two ways: insider information and the stockpile.Both of these mechanisms are combined with some stock market elements to make players consider multiple factors when selling a stock. Do you hold onto a stock in hopes of catching a lucrative stock split or do you sell now to avoid the potential company bankruptcy? Can you hold onto your stock until the end of the game to become the majority shareholder, or do you need the liquidity now for future bidding? Do you risk it all by investing heavily into one company, or do you mitigate your risk by diversifying your portfolio?In the end, everyone knows something about the stock market, so it all comes down to strategy execution. Will you be able to navigate the movements of the stock market with certainty? Or will your investments go under from poor predictions?Stockpile: Continuing Corruption--------------------------------------------------------The first expansion for Stockpile contains four expansion modules that can be played separately or used all together for more strategic game play.Module 1: Forecast Dice — Six custom dice offer more excitement by changing the market forecast round-to-round. Roll the dice at the beginning of the round. The dice cause the market to rise or fall on any given turn and ensures that no two games will ever be the same.Module 2: Bonds — Bond present a new, safe investment option for players. Purchasing bonds can provide a steady stream of interest payments every round. However, it comes at a price. The original money used to purchase bonds cannot be recovered until the end of the game. Be careful not to overspend or you might lose out on valuable stockpiles.Module 3: Commodities & Taxes — Commodities & Taxes create much more tension during the game. Each round, players add Commodities or Taxes to the stockpiles. Collect different types of commodities and dodge taxes to earn substantial end-game bonuses.Module 4: More Investors — Stockpile: Continuing Corruption adds six new investors from around the world who have heard about massive profits being made, and they want in on the action. Each investor possesses a unique ability that opens up more ways to win.The addon is included for free in the base game.Features--------------------------------------------------------- The easy to follow tutorial guides you through the rules- cross-platform play with all opponents- ranked and casual games- world ladder with GLICKO rating- 6 optional combinable rulesets for unlimited replayability- 3 AI opponents (easy, medium and hard)- scalable game complexity- play offline alone or with your friends/spouse- asynchronous game with notifications- fast ranked games for live experience- 10 new quality avatars for your DIGIDICED collection- Languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Korean, Chinese (simplified), Japanese, Russian and ItalianAwards of the physical game--------------------------------------------------------2015 Cardboard Republic Socializer Laurel Nominee 7aa9394dea Title: StockpileGenre: Casual, Indie, StrategyDeveloper:DIGIDICEDPublisher:DIGIDICEDRelease Date: 21 Sep, 2018 Stockpile FULL Stockpile is a great stock market game. It was originally created as a board game and converted into an app, and the conversion is excellent. The game is probably better as an app than as the physical copy because all of the maintenance (such as shuffling) is done much quicker and more easily on the computer.As I mentioned, Stockpile is a stock market game. To some this may seem like a dry topic, but there is a lot of fun, deception, and strategy baked into this game. And if you are playing with the right attitude, you can get some laughs, too. There are investors that each have special abilities and the characters are hilarious. What makes this game great IMO is the RNG-to-strategy ratio, where there is enough strategy to decide games by good play but enough randomness to allow for surprises, force adaption, and make sure the game isn't chess. I love that there is a ranked mode online, too, and I've been playing like 10 games at a time. I may be addicted.. Summary: My Favorite Economic Board Game Comes to DigitalEdit Notes: I'm doing a full teardown of my initial review that documented initial release errors. For full disclosure, on launch there were a number of interface issues that made the game unplayable. Within a few days the devs came through on fixes that resolved the bulk of our issues. Ever wanted to feel like a stock trader? Wheel and deal with the best of them inside of 20-40 minutes? Then Stockpile is the game for you. There are videos out there that detail the order of play way better than I can for the traditional game.With 4 players, the game is played over 6 rounds where everyone has only a piece of the economic forecast puzzle. From there you use that to value various stockpiles and get into a bidding war over them! Will your stocks go up, down, or will you get your hands dirty in manipulating the market?Very very robust AI where even Medium can smash me up pretty well. With more people? The action gets even crazier.Highly recommend.. game is little hard to get to.ui is not that friendly.boardgame has better layoutbut after you understand it its quite good like the boardgame.i can recommend it for 6 euros. Well, this came out of nowhere. That's not a complaint mind you, I love playing the tabletop version. In short, I think this game is indeed worth the $7. The interface was a little confusing the first time out but I got used to it after a few games.For rules and gameplay, check out the below video:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4SSrPMIyLf0. One improvement could be some end-game-summary? At end of game you don't really get a synopsis of your and your opponents points (how they were achieved overall).. After running through the tutorial twice I've given up trying to understand the game and requested a refund. Maybe it would have helped if I had played the board game before but I haven't and it shouldn't be necessary in order to understand the game.
