Title: Light, quick-playing stock market game
Review: Stalk Exchange is a pretty quick game where you’re trying to manipulate the values of different flowers to maximize your portfolio. It’s a lot more fun than that first sentence sounds.You start the game with a random selection of flowers that are hidden from the other players. There’s a Market Board displaying the current value of each flower represented by a Value Token (they all start at 0).The Garden Board has a hex section with random flowers in designed spaces (planting area), and six spaces underneath (stalk exchange) that also have random flowers. Each flower token has a bulb side and a flower side.Each turn you have two actions that you can do in any combination (although there are tokens that let you do additional moves or flush the stalk exchange)-swap a plant in your portfolio with one in the stalk exchange-take a plant from the stalk exchange and plant in the planting area (bulb side)Any flower token or group of flower tokens in the planting area that are surrounded gets cleared out and put on the market board starting from the tail end of the path. The Value Token of each flower gets moved up according to how many of their flower tokens were just added. Once any Value Token crosses over the flower token on the board, the game ends.If the game hasn’t ended yet, any bulb with an empty space next to it gets flipped over to the flower side. The stalk exchange removes the right-most flower and also gets refilled back up to six.Play moves on to next player.At game end, the highest value flower busts and gets its value cut down to half. Players then reveal all the flowers they kept in their portfolio and tally up how many points they earned.The game is pretty light and easy to learn. The puns and beautiful design make it more accessible to casual players. It moves quickly and there’s still room for a little bit of strategy. In the game I played, I dumped all the tulips and tried to keep the market value of it low by making the group in the planting area so large that it was difficult to remove in the time we had left.The component quality is excellent and the artwork on the tokens are done in a papercraft style. If I had any complaint, it’s that you’re supposed to mix the flower tokens in the Greenhouse bag at the beginning of the game, but it’s too small to fit all the tokens AND mix them, but that’s a really minor complaint since there’s simple workarounds.

Title: It’s okay – very nice components
Review: Okay so i’ll preface with my family plays a TON of games a year and so we come at this with some experience playing a bunch of different games and some of similar ilk to this. It’s okay. At first, during unboxing, I was blown away by the components as they are all super nice and the wooden bits just make a game have that premium feel. It’s one that will give you nice happy feelings upon opening it.When it comes to gameplay, it’s just….okay. I’m not going to say it’s bad or terrible, but there isn’t much to write home about. The rules are pretty straightforward and it plays fairly quickly, but there just isn’t too much interest that really makes this one we want to come back to. It also takes up a ton of shelf space for what it is (which is where the premium components (cause larger and take up more space), almost hurt it. It’s hard to justify such a big box for the experience it gives.That all being said, I do think many will enjoy this and I don’t want to make it seem like this is a terrible game no one should play. I think it’ll have its fans and people who want something pretty simple but more complex than what they may be used to off the target shelf might enjoy this. I think it just doesn’t do much that already hasn’t been done so it’s kind of just a pretty face on something that’s been around.If the theme and look peaks your interest and you find it at a good price, might be worth a look! I always recommend checking boardgamegeek.com for all the info and more you could want on any board game that exists!

Title: Fun enough, capitalism but with flowers
Review: This is an interesting one, and kind of place where I bet the pun of the name came first and then the game followed. For something that probably has an origin like that, it’s pretty well done.Box is nice, pieces are nice, components are nice. All the art is well done. Game is quick enough, simple enough, and fun enough, if you can get past the sort of nesting the concept has in capitalism. But, you know, isn’t that everything?Good unique game to have around.

Title: Its ok
Review: Good game but I returned it. I didn’t even unbox it or unwrap it. I just knew that I wouldn’t play it again.
