About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever thought about turning market chaos into fast-paced tabletop fun? Developed in collaboration with NPR's Planet Money, Sell Me a Sasquatch takes economic strategy concepts and transforms them into a quick, competitive, and high-adrenaline card game. Forget boring spreadsheets; here, the goal is to master the art of negotiation and bluffing to come out on top in every transaction.
The dynamic is simple, but the tension is high. In each round, one player takes on the role of the Buyer, while everyone else tries to sell their goods. To make a deal, you must place three cards face down (the big mystery!) and one face up (the bait!). The Buyer then has to decide whether to accept the deal or pass. The big challenge? You're hunting for 'Creatures', which are incredibly valuable, but you must avoid the 'Nasties', which only serve to dock your points.
But watch out: the risk is real for everyone! If the Buyer decides to reject your deal, you are forced to keep the cards you were trying to sell. This could be an amazing stroke of luck if you're trying to dump trash, or a total disaster if you were trying to hide something good. It's a game of perfect timing, where knowing when to push or pull back is the key to victory. With games lasting only 20 minutes, it's the perfect filler for any game night, providing that addictive 'just one more round' feeling as you try to bluff your friends with the best poker face in the room.
