INTRODUCTION

Wartime Black Market is a fast 2 to 6 player game where players will try to drive hard bargains and fight for items in a market with limited stock of vital resources.

TURN PLAYTHROUGH

1 - The active player draws 10 random miniatures from the bag and places them on the table. Grabbing a handful and dropping them is recommended to avoid cheating.

2- The items are grouped by type. That will be the tradeable stock for that turn.

3- The active player rolls all the dice that match with the colors of the currently available items at the same time (eg. if there's one or more cows, the black die comes into play, etc). The ones that not apply don't roll in this turn. The value of each dice is the base value for each individual item of that type (eg. if the black die rolls 3, and there are 2 cows, each cow is worth 3 coins).

4- All the players can sell as many of the items in their possession as they want, at the exact price the dice indicate for each unit they might sell. The sold items are placed into the bag.

5- All the players push the prices to buy the items. If there are two or more people bidding the same price and one of them is the active player, the active player has preference (eg. If the value of a cow is 2 coins, but a player bids it for 3 coins, if nobody else bids more, that player buys it, but if the active player bids 3 as well, the other player must raise the bid to 4 or let the active player take it for 3). If there is more than one player bidding the same price for an item and none of them is the active player, the active player has the last word on who takes it or them (even distribute), being able to come to future agreements or favors, but never taking money as a bribe. Once nobody else wants to buy more items, or everything has been sold, the turn ends.

6- If there are unsold items, return them to the bag.

7- Place the 12 sided die with the following number facing upwards and the turn ends, giving place to the next player.

If in Step 3 of the Turn Playthrough, 3 or more dice are rolled with value 1, famine strikes! Every player must return 1 item of each type they have to the bag. If players don't have items, they are not penalized. The game continues normally.
