Speculation is played using two standard decks of cards divided into a stack for each suit, with six cards removed from each stack. Each suit represents a commodity.

Each round one card from each stack is turned over to give the price for that commodity. All players may buy or sell the four commodities. If a face card is revealed for a commodity all holdings in it are wiped out. The wealthiest player after a set number of rounds wins the game.
