A game of shifting loyalties for 4 players.

You Need:

• 4 Icehouse stashes (or 60 tokens, preferrably stackable ones)
• A Share & Share Alike board (available on the website)
• A Share & Share Alike share tracker and a pen for each player.(available on the website)
• A 6-sided die.
• A poker deck (Jokers removed).

S&S is played in rounds. At the start of each round, you must select one company to get a share in. Secretly mark the share you selected in the appropriate row of the column for the current round on your share tracker. Once all players have selected a share, the action phase starts.

You start the action phase with three actions. hen it’s your turn, you can spend from zero to three actions (the actions are Play a card, Discard, or Draw up to 5 cards). Cards are played in order to affect the market, represented by the stackable pieces and the board. When you’re done taking actions, play passes to your left. Once all players have spent all actions they wish to spend, the round ends.

At the end of the fifteenth round, the players figure up their points, based on the number of shares they have in each company and the rank of each company. The player with the most points wins.
