YTD is a stock market game where timing, influence, and tactical drafting make all the difference. Over seven rounds, you and up to five friends compete to become the wealthiest investor by drafting among nine unique characters each round. Each one offers powers to manipulate the market, sabotage rivals, or unlock new opportunities. Buying and selling stocks is just half the battle — knowing when and how to leverage your allies is what'll make your portfolio soar. With the market constantly shifting, you'll need to adapt strategies, take risky bets, and throw some friendly sabotage into the mix. In the end, the richest player wins... along with bragging rights at the next family gathering.

What's the ideal player count?
Best with 4-5, where competition for stocks and characters gets fierce. With 3 it lacks chaos, and 6 might overstay its welcome.
Is it hard to learn?
The core (buying/selling stocks) is simple, but mastering character abilities takes 1-2 games. There's a learning curve, but nothing crazy.
Do I need to be good at math?
No complex calculations, but you'll compare values and predict trends. If you handle scoring in other games, you're good.
Is it luck-based or pure strategy?
Market volatility adds unpredictability, but 70% is strategy — especially in how you leverage character powers.
Family-friendly?
If your family enjoys strategic games and doesn't take in-game sabotage personally, yes! Not for casual party gamers though.
