Stockpile: Continuing Corruption is an expansion for Stockpile released in 2016 for 2–5 players, 45–75 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Brett Sobol and Seth Van Orden and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Set Collection, and Auction / Bidding.
Description from the publisher: Stockpile: Continuing Corruption, the first expansion for Stockpile, the critically acclaimed stock market game of insider trading, contains four expansion modules that can be played separately or used all together for more strategic game play. Module 1: Forecast Dice — Six custom dice offer more excitement by changing the market forecast round-to-round. Roll the dice at the beginning of the round and select the appropriate forecast cards. The dice cause the market to rise or fall on any given turn and ensures that no two games will ever be the same. Module 2: Bonds — Bond Cards present a new, safe investment option for players. Purchasing bonds can provide a steady stream of interest payments every round. However, it comes at a price. The original money used to purchase bonds cannot be recovered until the end of the game. Be careful not to overspend or you might lose out on valuable stockpiles. Module 3: Commodities & Taxes — Commodities & Taxes create much more tension during the game. Each round, players add Commodity or Tax Cards face-up to the stockpiles. Collect different types of commodities and dodge taxes to earn substantial end-game bonuses. Module 4: More Investors — Stockpile: Continuing Corruption adds six new investors from around the world who have heard about massive profits being made, and they want in on the action. Each investor possesses a unique ability that opens up more ways to win.
Stockpile: Continuing Corruption supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Stockpile: Continuing Corruption is 45–75 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Stockpile: Continuing Corruption for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Stockpile: Continuing Corruption has a complexity rating of 2.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
