„Black Market“ is a trading game, set in bad times, which are good times for black markets. Money is worthless, there’s nothing to buy in the shops and everybody tries to exchange goods against other goods which he thinks he needs. „Black Market“ is a trading game. The players „produce“ (or simply fetch) their goods in their basements, then go to the black market where they try to exchange their goods with the other players. The value of the goods is constantly changing, depending on supply and demand. If everybody has Granny’s crystal mirror on offer they will hardly get a pack of cigarettes for it, if only one player is offering cigarettes he can demand quite a lot for it.
„Black Market“ is for 3 - 6 players, 12 years or older, and takes about 90 minutes to play.

Black Market is like Kogge a trading game without money. The game is played in rounds, each round the players produce goods which they try to exchange for goods produced by the other players. Only goods which have been exchanged this way can then be sold for victory points. The exchange value of goods depends from supply and demand and will change from round to round.
