Soon, journalists caught wind of the story.

Using information from the Panama Papers, they also revealed that the Pears brothers collected at least $53 million in Berlin rents and sales in 2017 trib.al/YeMg6gT

In Berlin, revelations about the Pearses’ real estate ventures stoked a growing rage against big landlords and property speculators.

@ZenOfDesign

1) Dice Placement (Kingsburg). You roll 3 dice, and only can place them on locations equal to a sum of the dice. Combine dice to reach higher locations. Locations are exclusive, so you can block other players from placing there.

2) Friendly Auctions (Evo/Stockpile). All players bid on a number of assets equal to the player count. When someone is outbid, they immediately bid on something else. Ends when everyone bids on something differently, last player usually gets his choice for free.
