Stack Market

Players invest in dice-built high-rises in a dexterity wagering game, adding floors to earn cash while avoiding collapses. A toppled building penalizes every investor, so ambitious construction can turn shared stakes into a costly disaster.

Read the full game description

A game from Japan, it is a cross between a dexterity game and a wagering game. Players are real estate barons investing in high rises. On a players turn, he rolls as many dice as there are floors in the building in which he is invested. These "floors" are composed of dice with 0-4 windows on them. As floors are stacked, they must ascend from 0 to 4, and then back around. After a player rolls, he determines how many floors he can and wants to build. If he builds at least 5 floors, he earns $10K. If he builds the tallest building (with a minimum of 15 stories) he gets $10K. If he knocks his building down, all of the investors in the building pay $20K. Play for three rounds, and the player with the most cash wins.
