## Description
Overlapping Interests is a fast-paced economic game for 3-6 players competing to amass wealth through a tug-of-war over shares in interconnected company blocks. The twist? The tiles you bid on represent share certificates owned by you, rivals, or the bank. The limited central grid becomes a 3D tower of overlapping interests — but only top-facing tiles pay dividends! Expect cutthroat strategies: sometimes buying cheap shares just to dilute others' payouts, or heavily investing to boost your holdings before calling dividends. In about 45 minutes, it delivers a crash course in stock dilution and ROI through gameplay that feels like a stock exchange on discount day.

## FAQ
### Does it work well at 3 players?
Yes! It becomes more strategic with smaller groups while keeping the fast pace.

### Do I need stock market knowledge?
Not at all! Rules explain everything, and gameplay teaches the concepts organically.

### How's it different from Stockpile?
Here the focus is on direct interaction and physical tile competition over market prediction.

### Is there a cooperative mode?
Nope — the fun lies in cutthroat competition and sabotage strategies!

### Does it include an insert?
As a print-on-demand title, organization is DIY — but components are minimal.
