## Description
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.

## FAQ
### 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.
