A downloadable game

Only the handmade prototype exists physically, but I've added all the assets here: the rules in PDF form, a zip folder with all the card scans, and another zip folder with all of the images (no background or text, just linework), if you'd like to recreate the game as you see fit.

Hi, and first and foremost thanks a lot for sharing your games.

We played a few rounds and Bars & Branches and everybody had fun (and we all absolutely love the art). The rules seem clear, but because they're weird and unintuitive, which makes the charm of the game, we'd still welcome confirmation we got things right : 

- Allocating simply means adding a (second) stock card to the market OR picking a stock card from the market (including the one you just put there).

- When a player got challenged and lost then nobody picks a card.

You're very welcome (: Thank you for checking them out and for the kind words. Yes, that's how I meant for those rules to work. Feel free to adjust anything as needed of course. I don't think I ever got the balancing just right
