Table flow
Choose a faction. Read the round. Beat the foe.
Part strategy game, part market psychology lesson, with investor behavior driving the tension.
Game of Gains by Finliti
A behavioral finance board game built around investor psychology.
Capture your foes, master your emotions, and play the market through factions, changing market rounds, and behavioral strategy.
Built to make market learning more approachable, even for people who do not start with investing experience.
How the game works.
Game of Gains turns investor behavior into something players can see, feel, and respond to in real time.
01
Choose your faction
Pick one of nine investor factions. Your faction sets your profile, target score, and the bias pressure you need to manage.
02
Roll the market
Red and black dice set the tone for the round, shifting the table into bullish or bearish conditions.
03
Play your hand
Every turn forces a clear choice: buy to add, sell to reduce risk, or stay and hold your position.
04
Beat your foe
Hit your target, push for 21, or reach 42 by mastering both your faction goal and your behavioral foe.
Choose your faction.
Nine investor factions shape how players approach risk, timing, and decision-making. Here are a few of them.
Diplomat
Careful, measured, and focused on protecting downside.
Trailblazer
Bold, aggressive, and more willing to press for upside.
Guru
Conviction-led and confident when it is time to place a view.
Futurist
Growth-oriented and pulled toward what could happen next.
Behavior is not flavor text in this game.
The mechanics are built around market pressure, score management, and the emotional mistakes that show up in real investing.
Core tension
Push your score, manage your risk, and read the people across the table.
The game borrows the tension of card play and table strategy, but uses investor behavior as the real strategic layer.
What players are actually managing.
The game is built to make behavioral finance easier to grasp without turning the experience into a classroom.
Behavior is part of the rules
Financial foes like Regretta and FoMO turn regret bias and fear of missing out into something players have to recognize and beat.
Market pressure keeps changing
The round can turn bullish or bearish fast, so the table keeps shifting instead of staying static.
Winning has multiple paths
Get close to your faction target to claim a pot, hit 21 to chase both pots, or hit 42 to fully master the game.
What the game is designed to teach.
Approachability matters. The point is to make market psychology easier to learn by playing it out.
Learn how markets feel under pressure
The game uses strategy and uncertainty to make volatility, timing, and conviction easier to understand.
See risk style as a real variable
Different factions play differently, so investor psychology becomes part of the strategy instead of a side note.
Make finance more approachable
The goal is not to drown players in jargon. It is to make market learning playable, memorable, and social.
