Stalk Exchange

About this board game

Stalk Exchange is a gardening and investment game for 2–5 players, with a playing time of approximately 45 minutes. Players become gardeners in a Community Hedge Fund, growing flowers while pursuing the most valuable Stalk portfolio.

The market is at the heart of the experience. Players plant seeds of investment to develop their portfolios, then surround flowers to harvest their value. As trends change, the Exchange offers opportunities to trade Stalks and keep pace with the market.

Every decision can affect more than one gardener. Players may collaborate with opponents to grow shared investments, or they can outmaneuver one another by causing a rival’s favorite flowers to wither. This creates a contest between cooperation, competition, and careful portfolio building.

• Plant investments to grow your portfolio.
• Surround flowers to harvest their value.
• Trade Stalks at the Exchange as trends develop.
• Collaborate or compete while influencing shared investments and opposing flowers.

When the market crashes, the gardener with the most valuable Stalk portfolio wins. The result is a focused race to cultivate profitable flowers, respond to market movement, and decide when partnership is worthwhile—or when it is better to undermine a competitor.

Released in 2024, Stalk Exchange combines a flower-growing theme with a market-centered struggle for value. Whether you are expanding investments, trading at the Exchange, or protecting your preferred flowers, each gardener works toward the same final goal: having the strongest portfolio when the market falls.
