Whale Street

About this board game

Whale Street is a stock game for 3–6 players that plays in approximately 60 minutes. In its brutal market, players invest wisely, grow their assets, and seek to build the greatest wealth.

Each company’s status is represented by a combination of tech cards. Cards placed on a company board show that company’s individual skills and apply only to it. Cards placed on the market board represent broader market conditions that affect every company.

The game’s reference card shows the relative superiority and inferiority created by different combinations of tech cards. Players must understand how these combinations shape the status of each company and how the resulting rankings influence the market.

• Company status: Tech cards on company boards define each company’s skills.
• Market conditions: Tech cards on the market board affect all companies.
• Rankings and returns: Company status rankings determine changes in earnings and stock prices.
• Investment decisions: Players balance prediction, manipulation, and careful asset growth.

As company rankings shift, earnings and stock prices fluctuate. The challenge is to recognize which combinations are favorable, anticipate how the market will respond, and decide when to invest or manipulate the situation.

Whale Street delivers a short stock-market experience centered on changing company strengths and shared market forces. To win, players must combine strategic investment with an understanding of how company and market tech cards interact.
