The play money and card graphics of this edition make the game a bit less abstract. Based on the stock market crash of Oct. 19, 1987. There are four corporations. Each corporation is represented by its own suit in the deck of cards. The deck is shuffled and each player is dealt eight cards. Each player also gets $20,000 as starting capital. One card is placed on its matching corporation to establish a price for each stock. A player buys stock by placing a card in front of one’s self and paying the cost of the stock. A player changes the price of stock by playing a card on the appropriate stock. In turn a player can change the value of up to two stocks and then buy up to two cards or sell any amount of one’s own stock – or – buy and sell and then change the value of the stocks. A player ends one’s turn by replenishing the hand. A player may exchange up to four cards from one’s own hand instead. When the deck is exhausted, a “Market Closed” card is added to the deck. The deck is reshuffled and when the “Market Closed” card comes up the game ends. All stock held by the players is converted into cash and the player with the most money is the winner.
