Stockpile

Stockpile is an economic board game in which players act as stock market investors at the end of the 20th century. You buy and sell stocks, aiming to finish with more money than the other players. The game combines the strategy of buying low and selling high with insider information and stockpiles: no one knows everything about the market, but each player knows something.

Investing and trading

When deciding whether to sell a stock, you weigh several possibilities. You might hold it in the hope of a lucrative stock split or sell to avoid a potential company bankruptcy. You can keep shares until the end to become a majority shareholder, or sell for liquidity to use in future bidding. Investing heavily in one company carries different risks from diversifying your portfolio.

Game modes

You can play ranked or casual games, compete on a world ladder with GLICKO ratings, or play offline alone or with friends. Three AI opponents offer easy, medium and hard difficulty. Live ranked games are designed to be fast, and asynchronous games use notifications. The game also supports cross-platform play and scalable complexity, with a tutorial that guides you through the rules.

Continuing Corruption

The Stockpile: Continuing Corruption expansion adds four modules that you can play separately or combine:

• Forecast Dice: Six custom dice change the market forecast from round to round, causing the market to rise or fall on a given turn.
• Bonds: Bonds provide interest payments each round, but the money used to buy them cannot be recovered until the game ends.
• Commodities & Taxes: Players add commodities or taxes to stockpiles each round. Collecting different commodities and avoiding taxes can earn end-game bonuses.
• More Investors: Six investors from around the world each have a unique ability, creating additional ways to win.

Additional features
