Tulip Bubble

Players take the roles of traders in a speculative tulip market during a historical price bubble. The game cycles through preparation, buying, and selling phases as players purchase and sell tulip varieties on a fluctuating market board. Players manage money and timing, monitor price movements, and make decisions about when to hold or liquidate holdings. The round sequence repeats until the market collapses or a player achieves a high-value purchase that ends the game; victory goes to the player with the most guilders.
