Read the full game description
Stalk Exchange turns a community garden into a bright, accessible commodity market. Players spend action points to plant and swap flowers, then use seedy business effects to influence values and disrupt rivals. The market board makes price movement visible, while hidden portfolio values and secret scoring information keep every gardener guessing about who is truly ahead. When the market crashes, the player holding the most valuable collection of stalks wins.
