Geld & Börse (1987)

About this game

In Geld & Börse, which translate in English into "Money and Stock Exchange", players try to accumulate the most capital in the time frame agreed upon before the game begins. Players roll the dice and navigate clockwise around the board, making movement decisions at crossroads. The playing board has a variety of economic squares that determine what the players can or must do, e.g.: purchase, buy or auction stocks, purchase mortgage certificates, gamble on the stock market, receive dividends, pay taxes, lose cash assets, etc. The outer track contains companies that you can buy, then you can invest them in the cities of the inner track. Also you can invest in diamonds and valuable metals like silver or gold to gain some extra money.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 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.
