Equity is a new Norwegian board game inspired by research on how finance bubbles are created and the psychology behind them. It's played by 3 to 6 players from 12 years up. Each game lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
Equity is a fast paced game where all players are involved in every turn of the game. There is only one game piece moving around the board keeping track of progress. The core of the gameplay is auctions of stocks and works of art, with bonus opportunities for the winner of every auction. Challenging the players to a balancing act between price setting and risk taking.
One of the inspirations of the game is the clinical psychological research on bubble formation by economist Vernon Smith, where players are bidding against each other selling and buying fictive stocks in a open information market. In our board game we have couppled this test with elements of chance and face to face negotiations. Creating a set of rules in witch players are encouraged to be creative and social in fighting their way to ultimately beeing crowned as the winner.
Equity has been thoroughly tested and we have executed more than 70 focus groups, changing the gameplay as we recieve feedback from players.
The game is presented in a classic wooden box with wooden dice, custom made game pieces. The board and cards are printed on quality cardboard to make a lasting, durable and decorative game with high replaying value.
The box includes: 1 bull token, 6 yachts, 32 stock cards, 42 action cards, 12 art cards, 15 inside information cards, 130 playing bills, 1 licence card and one playing board.
The game is made available through its own webpage: www.equityboardgame.com and various retail stores in Norway.
The rules are in English , Norwegian and German.
The graphics is designed in collaboration with illustrator and tattoo artist Alexander Trowell .
