About the game
What you do in a play session
The game recreates the atmosphere of the time, when the bubonic plague haunted Europe and common folk saw tulip auctions as a chance to get rich quick. You and your fellow investors will face off in rounds of bidding and speculation, attempting to artificially inflate prices to sell high. Every decision counts: when to buy, when to sell, and to whom to sell. The simultaneous action selection adds a layer of tension, as you need to guess others' moves to avoid falling into traps.
The goal is clear: leverage your network, make smart investments, and, most importantly, know when to jump out. Whoever navigates the volatile tulip market best and leaves with the most money in their pocket will be the big winner. It's an economic game that puts you in the shoes of a speculator, testing your daring and your ability to predict the unpredictable. If you enjoy games with auctions, speculation, and a dash of history, Tulipmania 1637 offers a unique and fun experience.
