Nice original game – Stock Market Board Game Review

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!
