You are a stock market investor who is looking to get the most out of your money. Buy low and try to control the market to gain you the most victory points!

Everyone starts out with the same ten numbered cards and uses these to bid on stocks. Bids are collected each round and stock prices change based on the total amount bid for each stock. Stock values, using VPs as currency, rise with high total bids on that stock. However, bidding low actually wins you the stock itself.

After 6 rounds the stock values in your portfolio are calculated and whoever has the most VPs wins!
