About the game

What you do in a play session

Blockstreet: Market Mayhem is organized chaos in card game form. Picture 1980s Wall Street mixed with crypto memes - that's essentially what you'll get in this frantic real-time trading experience. Players shout random numbers trying to trade face-down cards, all hoping to complete sets of commodities. The game includes 118 cards with wild events (like Bull wildcards), punishing cards (the dreaded Bears), and even a voting system to decide who gets an advantage. Don't expect deep strategy: here it's all about shouting, bargaining, and a bit of luck to dominate the market before others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

7 questions
How many players can join?
4 to 8, but the more people, the more chaotic (and fun) it gets!
What's the average game duration?
Between 20 and 40 minutes - enough time for everyone to go hoarse from shouting.
Do I need economics knowledge to play?
Not at all! The game is about shouting numbers and trading cards, not market analysis.
Is there a strategic way to play?
The game rewards speed more than strategy, but you can try to outnegotiate others.
What's the recommended age?
12+, mainly because of the simultaneous negotiation dynamic.
Does it need a lot of space?
Just enough to spread some cards on the table and for everyone to reach them.
Is it worth it for serious economic game fans?
Only if you have a sense of humor - here economics is a parody, not a simulation.
