Swapping for Sets

Three sets of rules for three game modes to acquire sets of three identical cards, product values are dice-determined.

Market Making: The dealer rolls dice for product values and puts chips into the market; between rounds he can roll again for the market or keep the previous market. You hold eight product cards, and in your turn you draw one and discard one. If you lack only one card for three sets, you announce this, put your cards down face-down, cannot exchange them anymore and can take at any time a discarded card to complete your sets, even outside your turn. You then receive/pay money according to market value and origin of the last card and can re-roll one product value before payment. Three identical sets are always worth 600.000; a wrongly announced end of the round costs 100.000 penalty. After a round, the dealer changes, unless he ended the round; if he does that again, his result is doublet, and so on, up to a maximum tenfold value for being dealer ten times. If everyone has been dealer twice, the game ends and you win with most money.

God of the market: This version is played like; you roll, however, dice again for all three sets before payment.

Battle Royale Market: Is also played like Market Making; you only need to collect one Set and begin without money. If you have a set, you roll for its value; cards used by all players go out of play. When the stack has been used up or when the bank runs out of money, you win with most money.

Set collecting with interesting details like change of dealer or the option to change the value of a set, albeit risking a change for the worse.
