Players each take control of a country trying to build strong portfolio of assets in the era of Covid-19. The country with the highest net worth in the end is the winner.

At the start you're assigned a random country and get some money and starting assets. During your turn you make a choice on whether to buy an asset and after that you turn over an action card from top of the deck. Action might affect only the player in turn or multiple players and might have differing effects if it's bear or bull market at the time.

Assets resemble real life companies and other things like Amazon Rainforest or Taj Mahal. They are divided in 15 sectors with some overlapping over multiple sectors. Gathering multiple assets of a sector provides a bonus in added monopoly value. Additionally, action cards may affect the value of assets in play.

The game ends after action cards are exhausted or all players but one have gone bankrupt or after a set number of rounds decided at the start of the game.
