Wall Street Up/Down

Like Monopoly, a toss of the dice moves your game piece along the board’s squares. That same toss sends stock and bond prices up or down, sometimes soaring, sometimes plummeting; always seemingly predictable, but therein —like the real stock markets—lies its drama.

The square where your game piece lands determines your play-opportunities. The headlines of the game’s mini-newspaper—the “Wall Street News”—sets that round’s “general” direction of stock prices, up or down —but (like the real markets) when stock prices climb, bond prices are more apt to fall.

Like a surfer reads the waves, you win at this game of daring, intuitiveness and strategy, by reading the market’s clues and riding the crests of the market’s seven moods.
