Stock Market Guru (1997)

About this game

A revised version of Stocks & Bonds (3M), intended to more accurately model the stock market. Players buy and sell stocks in the game's ten companies over the course of ten turns, in an attempt to acquire the most money at the end of the game. Three historical scenarios are provided to allow you to re-create 'The Roaring 20s and the Great Depression', 'The Late 80s:Uncertain Boom' and 'The 70s: Oil Crises and Inflation'. reimplements Stocks & Bonds

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 10. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
