Q.E Demo program

QE takes place during the 2008 recession. Each player acts as a central bank. You are enacting "Quantitative Easing" (QE) measures to stimulate the economy. That just means you'll be spending money to bail out companies. Since you represent a nation, there is no limit to what you can spend. You get a marker and a blank check. Write any number you want.

But there is a catch. At the end of the game, you will total up all your winning bids. Whoever paid the most total during the game loses. They are out. Then, the rest of the players score points based on collecting sets of companies, and the player with the most points wins. (Scoring is actually just a hair more complicated than that, and it is explained in detail all the way at the end.)
