In 1637, the tulip craze fueled one of the first speculative investment bubbles. Coveted tulip varieties led to skyrocketing prices with tulip bulbs costing more than houses in Amsterdam. Then just as suddenly as it started, the bubble burst when investors could no longer afford even the cheapest bulbs, leaving economic turmoil.

In Tulip Bubble, players buy and sell on a fluctuating market, trying to earn the most guilders. The game flow includes a preparation phase, buying phase, and selling phase, with these phases recurring until the bubble collapses or someone manages to outwit the markets by purchasing a black tulip for 120 guilders before that collapse occurs.

Eva ★★★★★

The bidding tension in our group got so heated that we forgot the game was about tulips until someone accidentally shouted "one more bulb!" and we all cracked up. The theme is baked into every mechanic, and the way prices spiral out of control really nails the historical panic.

Eli V. ★★★★★

I’ve played a lot of auction-style games, but this one really made my group argue over fake tulips for an hour straight. The escalating price mechanic captures the panic perfectly, and the endgame is brutal when you’re stuck holding worthless bulbs.

Zoe ★★★★★

The theme of 1637 Amsterdam's tulip craze is so clever, and the auction-style bidding actually had my friends arguing over bulbs like they were real fortunes. Played three rounds back-to-back, and the bluffing mechanics kept everyone on edge until the very last flip.
