I loved this game as a kid, so finding it was awesome. But all the other reviews are right. Dice rolls are not random. After 10 games, it's obvious the AI is quite a bit "luckier" at all times. Example being I get 3for1 and the next two rolls from AI send market down 40 total points making my newly acquired shares practically worthless. Watched it happen twice. Plenty other examples. Aside from that, gameplay is solid. Hard to see the stock names on the squares though and color coding your portfolio would be helpful. Fix the randomness of the die rolls and this becomes 5star. Until then, 2 it is.
Random dice

I know for a fact every single time I am in 2-1 spot, the next dice roll will be “sell all shares”, 1,2, or 3 for 1 spots are a curse. Make dice actually random and I will wear this game out! Just fix the dice! I left review year or so ago with same suggestion. I see I am also not the only one to notice.
Nice original game

I used to play a stock market based board game and this one, while taking a few play-throughs to get to hang of what was going on, is much more intuitive to play. The one thing that helped me to play was noticing the layout of the stock prices for the companies. The companies with the biggest price swings are on the outside and prices with modest changes are in the center. Also, the companies that go up in prices with the market are on the left half and the companies that go up against the market are on the right. Finally, keep an eye on the red line on the very right, it'll tell you the market wheel's relative position so you know when a particular stock is at it's highest or lowest. My only criticism is that there are spaces in which you are forced to sell all of your stock in one company at a HUGE loss. Seems too harsh. I would suggest modifying it so that you have to sell them at half the market price. That would be a little easier to stomach than selling 100 shares at $15 each when they are really worth $50 each. Other than that, VERY pleased with this game!
An awesome app!

This is exactly how I remember playing the board game save for the name change of the stocks. It is very addictive, yet it seems that after a few games, the computer and I win about 50/50. For those of you who have played this classic board game, you will be very happy with this app. A great buy for 99 cents! Enjoy.
Big Fan of Old Games

Played this as a kid growning up. Miss the old names:Western Publishing, J.I. Case, Woolworth, etc. You'll love playing over and over with different options avalilable. Only complaint: the DICE, random generator is anything but random, have played over 30 games and have never seen a number repeat, like rolling a seven two times in a row. would love to see this upgraded!!! Would also like the ability to slide the entire stock price table to look to see how far away in price I am to the bottom, other than the red indicator to the right. Thanks so much
Awesome!

Was very happy to find this game in the app store. Very well done! The best board game out there! Couple of suggestions. Would be nice to have multiplayer like with the Apple game center and also local wifi multiplayer. Have the line marker (red line) on both sides of the current stock prices. The option to sell stock at lowest price if you do not have enough cash to buy when you land on a space so that you can buy stock on what you landed. Place down or up arrow beside stock prices showing the current direction the stock is moving. Place the grand total amount for each player of stocks and money so you know how close the game is between opponents. Thanks again for a awesome job! Keep up the good work!

This plays exactly like the original game. While it doesn't play like how the stock market works, it is a great throwback game that plays just like the classics. Easy to learn and hours of fun!

Loved this as a kid love it as an app. I like to play for big money but selling 1,000,000 shares 1,000 at a time takes tooooo long. Can you add a larger share denomination or a place I can punch in a number and bulk sell
Awesome

4/5 stars is not anything to do with give quality of this game. I have actually tried to play this game by webcam, with my father, with both of us having a board, so if you could create an online function i will give you 5 stars.
A great classic game.
