Description Edit | History

Players buy and sell 5 different kinds of stocks trying to make the most money. Players simultaneous place counters to indicate buying or selling against a timer; then a random card decides whether the market is bull, bear or mixed, but the amount a stock rises or falls depends on its type and how many people are buying or selling it. There are also rules for stock splits, stock conversion, margin buying and short selling.

Stock Market (1970)
Designed by Thomas Shaw

In the more conventional non-wargame design area Shaw was still better than most. This one won him accolades from CHICAGO TODAY magazine.
