1920 Wall Street (2017)

About this game

In 1920 Wall Street, a card game for 2 to 5 players, each player tries to collect shares from four different companies (corn, cotton, steel and oil), sell them if they need money, and influence the value of the different companies in the stock market. They earn points for making the market fluctuate and for the shares they collect — if they reach the minimum quantity of each kind! Everything with the background of the Wall Street Bombing that occurred in 1920 at the Financial District, in Manhattan, will trigger the end of the game and make some changes on the way it is scored. These changes are affected by the way players discard their cards during the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
