Step 2: Playing the game
- Begin with inputting your year of birth, continent, expertise field, and email address (optional).
- On the Markets page, you can pick the hypothesis markets or the theory markets.
- A graph of the price history of the hypothesis/theory (updated daily) will appear alongside a slider to set your reservation price.

Step 3: Compete with your friends!
- To check your performance, click on the menu and go to the Trades & Scores page.
- You can see your total earning & spending, the current position of the price, and your prior performance on each theory/hypothesis.
- Check your relative performance on the Scoreboard. You are ranked based on the amount of your Bayescoins.
