About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready to get your hands dirty and your pockets full in Stalk Exchange? This game puts you in the shoes of a no-nonsense gardener looking to profit from growing flowers. The concept is straightforward: plant your seeds, tend to them until they flourish, and at the right moment, sell your 'stalks' on the market. But beware, the market is as volatile as a teenager's mood! Prices fluctuate, so you need to be sharp to know when to buy and sell, speculating to make your money grow. You can even help (or hinder) your opponents, collaborating on investments or watching their gardens wither. The twist is that some points are worth gold and are only revealed at the end, so every decision counts towards becoming the wealthiest gardener when the market takes its final bow. It's a light game with resource management and speculation mechanics, perfect for those who enjoy an economic challenge without it being too heavy. Let's plant some fortune!
