This a post-apocalyptic stock trading game.The World ended, and now it is re-building. Race to be the first millionaire int he new world. Players will be encouraging their commodities to be the new currency for the world to trade with.

Each player will control a commodity they can use to barter, trade and work to increase or decrease the value of. The value of the commodities will be tracked on the game board. On player's turn they will have 4 actions points to move, and perform their actions such as, pick up cards, trade commodities, collect a commodity, collect gold, increase a value of a commodity or decrease the value of a commodity.

Each game will turn out and play differently. There is only so much of each commodity you will need to collect yours and other players goods. Each time a player collects another players commodity they collect one also. If someone manages to collect more of yours than you do, you may need to work to decrease the value of it. What becomes popular changes in every game. There is also gold in the game, and every time someone collects gold, it's value decreases and never can go back up.

Once a player has a million dollars worth of value, the game ends and everyone counts their total to see who wins. It is very common if one player reaches the threshold other players also have as well.
