// the_premise

Market Masters is about building discipline in investing. Each player receives ₹10,00,000 per round and decides how to spread it across eight real-world asset classes. The wheel then picks a random year from market history and your portfolio lives or dies by that year's actual returns.

// game_rules
  1. 01Each player / team starts every round with ₹10,00,000 to deploy.
  2. 02Allocate that capital across the eight assets — the total MUST equal 100%.
  3. 03Once allocations are locked, the year wheel spins to a real historical year.
  4. 04Your portfolio is marked-to-market using that year's actual asset returns.
  5. 05Points are awarded each round on a 0–100 scale relative to the best allocation.
  6. 06A year cannot repeat in the same game — every round is a fresh market regime.
  7. 07The team with the highest cumulative score after all rounds wins the title.
// scoring

After the year is revealed, every team's weighted return is computed:

return = Σ ( weight_i × asset_return_i )

The best return in the round earns 100 points, the worst earns 0, and everyone else is scaled between. Cumulative score across all rounds decides the champion.

// host_playbook_for_zoom
  1. 01Host shares this page in the Zoom chat before kickoff so everyone knows the rules.
  2. 02Host screen-shares the game (one screen, one game).
  3. 03Each player / team registers their name, mobile and email on the start screen.
  4. 04Teams discuss their allocation aloud; host enters it on the Allocation screen.
  5. 05Spin the wheel together — the year reveal is the moment of truth.
  6. 06Review the Results screen, then advance to the next round.
