Black Friday (2023)

About this game

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. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
