📈 About the game

Speculants is a strategic board game where players compete on a shared market of 6 cryptocurrencies, each with dynamically changing prices.

Unlike classic economic games, prices here are influenced by:

• player actions
• asymmetric action cards
• hidden market rotation
• late-game volatility

The game rewards prediction, bluffing, and ruthless timing rather than luck.

• 👥 Players: 4 (best experience)
• ⏱️ Playtime: 60–90 minutes
• 🎯 Goal: finish with the most cash
• 🧠 Complexity: Medium / strategic
