YOLO! is born out of pandemic boredom. At the height of the pandemic, we found ourselves playing many board games along with lurking in Reddit's r/wallstreetbets forum.
During the pandemic market frenzy, we saw retail investors go big or go 'GUH' with their plays. Congrats to those that made it big! RIP to those that ended up being huge bagholders because they didn't know what they were doing.
We asked ourselves what if we combine the ridiculous world of stonks with a fun card game? A game that helps people learn a thing or two about the stock market without risking 1000s of dollars of their life savings? A game that helps people learn a bit about the market, relive and laugh together at the ridiculous memes?
And so, we set out on a mission to build a stonks game. After a couple of months designing the cards and figuring out the game mechanics, we were finally ready to test the game with friends and family. And, several iterations (and print jobs) later, we had our finished product - YOLO!
We know that this card game may not resonate with all people, but many of our friends who don't have much interest in stonks found it fun, educational and addicting to play. They also said they all learned a thing or two about stonks and options (win!). That’s when we decided to make this available for as many of you people as possible.

If you are bull gang, bear gang, theta gang or just a card game enthusiast, we think you'll enjoy this game. Thanks for reading and we hope you'll play YOLO! 🚀 🚀🚀
