Tamper is a unique and innovative stock market game that combines elements of board game and traditional stock market simulation into an original and fun experience.
The gameplay is quite simple: as a stock trader, your goal is to maximize your profits. You will spend most of the game observing stock price movements, new companies entering the market and existing companies being acquired. As the name implies, for the right price you can 'Tamper' with stock prices - manipulate the market, in other words. The types of Tampering you can do are much more varied than in COSMI's old Inside Trader, but the idea behind it is similar. The way the board game elements are incorporated is that the location of companies on the board (the physical place they occupy) determines whether they can expand or acquire adjacent companies. The amount of activity of the company's stock (and thus the degree of profit it can make) is also represented visually on the board.
I find Tamper to be a very unique and fun game that should appeal to both Monopoly and stock market simulator fans. It's unconventional, but it's a lot of fun, especially when played against 3 other human players. Recommended.
