BMAD Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 A popular game I used to play on forums was known as the investment game. The game rules are pretty straightforward. Ten stocks are advertised for sale on the opening day. There will be a sale price and a purchase price. The sale price is the price it costs to buy the stock and purchase price is the price to sell back to the market. Each stock has a maximum cap of stocks that can be sold so trading among the participants typically happens once stocks become few. Some participants may work out deals to trade with each other that may be more financially advantageous than buying directly from the market. The stocks values are updated daily so that each person can determine their total wealth. Stocks may be bought or sold to an individual or to the bank. Stock sales or trades to individuals must be set at a mutually agreed upon quantity (and price if applicable). Stock sales to the market will be at the seller's discretion of quantity but at the advertised market (purchase) price After ten days, the individual with the most wealth is the winner. All players start with $10,000 No one has to send all or any of their money Deficit spending is not permitted The game needs at least five players to play.
