Panic! is a card game of commodity trading between the wealthiest of gentlemen. Players attempt to corner the market for the scarcest commodities while dumping or trading the least valuable. Gameplay is fast and entertaining as the market is constantly shifting and your opponents and continually changing the dynamics of the trading floor.

Panic! includes three games in one box. Bull Market is a bidding game designed by James Ernest, Greg Parsons and Mick Sullivan in which secret information can make or break your day’s excursion to the trading floor. Bear Market, designed by James Ernest, is a fast-playing drafting game in which making the best of what comes your way is key. Inside Traders, designed by Jeff Horger, is a trick-taking variant using the same basic concepts.

All of the games rely on a Panic! stage where there is a flurry of dumped commodities when players begin to see what direction the current hand is going.
