Abstract:
An investment board game and game method are disclosed. The board includes an endless path along which the players” game pieces are moved. The path includes a plurality of stock spaces, each representing a stock and a stock purchase price. Upon moving to one of the stock spaces, the player is permitted to purchase shares of stock for that space. If shares are purchased, the player must draw a stock value card which has the potential of changing the closing value of the stock. The stock value cards are preferably arranged into low, medium and high risk card sets, with the player being limited to selecting from one of the sets depending on the present value of the stock. A plurality of personal risk spaces are dispersed among the stock spaces along the path, and a player who moves to one of these spaces must draw a personal risk card that is likely to monetarily award or penalize the player. The board similarly includes a plurality of global risk spaces, and a player who moves to one of these spaces must draw a global risk card that has indicia representing a change in the purchase price and closing value for at least one stock. Spaced apart along the path are also a busted space and a confinement space, with the player who has landed on the busted space being required to move to the confinement space pay a penalty, and miss at least one turn.
