Stockpile is a game about the stock market, insider trading, deception, bankruptcy, and riches. Savvy brokers will also be able to trick investors at the table into selling off stock that is about to skyrocket or hold onto stock that is quickly going bankrupt.īut be careful….because the other backstabbing traders around you are trying to do the exact same thing….to you! Use the inside information to your advantage to blindside your opponents with trading fees, make them squirm when you control a stock boom or bust, or saddle them with soon to be worthless investments. You must quickly build your portfolio by making high stakes bids on available stocks before turning around and deciding if you should sell them right away and hold onto them hoping for a greater profit later.
