Satan has hired his most trusted demons, succubi, and all around devilish creatures to fix this mess.

How to play?

The job is simple: secure the most souls by the end of the game. But you’ll have to be smart if you want to win -- remember to gain stock in a sin when the value is low (10) and spare the sinners when the value is high (90). Use your demonic influence to affect the market to your advantage or, if you’re feeling devilish, to your opponents' disadvantage.

1. Phase I - Establish The Trade
   1. Choose one sin you'd like to trade this round.
   2. Keep hidden until all players have chosen, then all reveal at the same time.
2. Phase II - Strategic Investments
   1. Decide whether you are buying or selling sin in your chosen Phase I stock, and then how much of it to buy/sell (1-10).
   2. Place the card in your folder so ONLY buy/sell is showing, not the number value.
3. Phase III - Market Forces
   1. Choose one sin you'd like to influence the market value of
4. Phase IV - Cash Out
1. Calculate how much of your chosen sin you've bought/sold, and how souls you've lost/gained in the process. 

At the end of 5 rounds, the player with the highest ending amount of souls on their ledger card is the winner.
