Stockers! (1995)

About this game

The gameplay for Stockers is almost identical to the GMT game Formula Motor Racing (though Stockers came out 5 years before FMR): namely, there is a line of different race cars and they change position based on which cards the players play. The only real difference is that throughout the race in Stockers players bet on which cars they think will win, vs. trying to make a particular team win like in FMR. Thus players try to make their bets pay off by playing their cards appropriately.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
