What this is
In Stockpile, players bid for and sell stocks as insider traders with hidden information. By privately learning if a stock is going to move up or down, each player has a chance to act ahead of the market by buying or selling at the right time. By putting stocks and other cards up for auction, Stockpile catalyzes player interaction, especially when potential profits from insider information are on the line.
