Product Description

Step into the high-stakes world of central banking in QE, a game where financial crises and economic strategies collide. In this thrilling economic finance game, you take on the role of a central bank trying to save "too big to fail" companies. The world is in financial turmoil, and it’s up to you to use your unlimited resources to bail out companies from four countries, but beware—overprinting money could lead to disaster.

In QE, players bid on sixteen different companies to secure their share of victory points. As the central bank, you control the printing press and can bid as much as you want. However, the game is more than just a bidding war. After the initial open bid by the lead player, the other players secretly place their bids, strategizing how to accumulate the most points without tipping the balance too far into financial ruin.

The game includes bonus victory points for achieving sets of nationalization, monopolization, and diversification in your portfolio of companies. Once all companies have been bailed out, players tally their victory points, but the game doesn't end there. Players must then count the amount of money they printed during the game. The player who printed the most money loses all their victory points, adding a twist that requires careful balancing of risk and reward.

This new edition of QE supports up to five players right out of the box, enhancing the experience for larger groups. With secret bidding, strategic decision-making, and the looming risk of inflation, QE offers a dynamic and challenging economic simulation that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Manufacturer Description

Financial crisis has occurred. Sixteen "too big to fail" companies from four countries need bailing out. The central banks have unlimited financial resources, so lots of money is going to be printed, but the central banks also face disaster — print too much money and the country they represent goes bust.

In Q.E., a term that stands for "quantitative easing", you play the role of a central bank. You bid on different size companies to accumulate various levels of victory points. The amount you bid is unlimited since you are the central bank and you own the printing press! After the initial "open" bid by the lead player, the other players bid in secret. After the sixteen companies have been "bailed out", bonus victory points are awarded for company sets of nationalization, monopolization, and diversification.

Player markers on the scoring track now reveal which player has the most victory points, but this is not the end. Players must now add up the amount of money they printed and the player who printed the most money loses all their victory points!

Previous editions of Q.E. supported up to four players, with a fifth-player expansion being available separately. This new edition of Q.E. is playable with up to five players out of the box.
