Each set is a real Wikipedia page full of people: a team and its players, a TV series and its cast, a film and its actors. Sets come in booster boxes of 20 packs, shipped to stores in waves. The rest of the world shops too: stock runs out. Stores restock every 12 hours (midnight and noon UTC, so every time zone gets a fair shot), a bit less each time. Each restock is sized for the number of players active in the last 24 hours, so boxes stay just as hard to find whether 5 or 500 people are hunting. Stores also limit each product per customer until the next restock. Pick a store, fill your cart, and wait for the delivery.

A syndicate buys a building or a painting together. The manager starts it on a property for sale (by the bank or a player) and puts in at least 2% of the goal; the goal is the price plus 2% in case it moves. Anyone can join, and take their money back while it's raising. As soon as the pot covers the price, the syndicate buys it automatically and returns the extra. If time runs out or the property is sold to someone else, everyone is refunded.

Once owned: the charges are paid out of the rent (no seizure), the manager earns 5% of the net rent, and the rest is shared every minute according to each member's share (it adds up in each member's pay, to collect). The manager decides when to sell (to a player or to the bank); a hostile takeover also pays the members. Each member can sell their shares to another player.
