Rules Summary
Collect matching pairs of assets, stack them to protect them, and steal the top asset piles from opponents when you can match them. At the end, the player with the most valuable assets wins.
How to Play
Objective Create and protect stacks of matching asset pairs worth the most money by the end of the game or after the agreed number of rounds. Setup Shuffle all asset cards together. Deal each player a starting hand, typically four cards. Place the draw pile within reach and leave space for a discard pile. Players keep their hands secret and begin with no assets on the table. Turn Structure Draw or begin your turn with your current hand. Play a matching pair of asset cards from your hand to start a new asset stack in front of you, or add a matching pair to cover and protect your top stack. Instead of only building your own stack, you may attempt to steal the top visible asset stack from another player by playing a matching card from your hand with a wild or second matching card as needed. If another player can defend or counter-steal with another matching card, the stack may continue changing hands until no one can respond. When the contest ends, the winning player places the claimed stack on top of their assets. Refill your hand as required by the standard hand limit, usually by drawing from the deck. Play passes to the next player. End of Game The round typically ends when the deck is exhausted and players finish the hand sequence as required. Players total the value of all asset stacks they control. The game may be played as a single round or multiple rounds, with the highest total value winning. Notes Only the top uncovered asset stack is usually vulnerable to theft; covered stacks underneath are protected. Wild cards often help form pairs or challenge for steals. Exact hand size and round structure can vary slightly by edition.
