About the game
Krach 29 is a fast-paced, real-time trading game set during the tumultuous days of the 1929 stock market crash. Players take on the role of ambitious traders who must offload as many cards as possible to avoid losing money. Each player starts with a hand of cards, each containing two actions, and the goal is to make the best combinations to secure bonuses and avoid penalties. But watch out—if you're the last to place your cards, penalties await! In this chaotic, party-style game, players must negotiate and trade cards with each other to find matching actions, while trying to sabotage their competitors. The player who loses the least money wins the game. Set in the roaring 1920s, this game immerses you in a world of fast deals, high risks, and fortunes won and lost in an instant. —description from the publisher
