Game "Trader"
Shares of the world's leading companies are up for auction. The players' task is to buy more shares while spending less money. Players carefully watch each other: who is seriously interested in which stocks, and which ones are just inflating the rate without the intention of buying them. Cleverly using fluctuations in stock prices for their own purposes, players master masterly stock exchange tricks to perfection.
Game "Bulls and Bears"
Players master the classic methods of stock speculation: playing for increases and decreases in stock prices. “BULLS” play for an increase in stock prices, “BEARS” - for a decrease. The atmosphere at the auction quickly heats up, because the stock price either shoots up sharply or immediately falls down. Playing for a change in rate reveals the trader's intentions, although they may be imaginary... and he is simply bluffing.
Game composition
The playing field consists of three parts: the Stock Exchange, the Depository and the Bank.
The stock exchange includes an “Information Board” and a “Trading” section.
The "Shares" cards represent shares of six companies. The card shows the name of the company and the nominal price of the block of shares in yuan.
Stock Event Cards The Stock Event map shows bull or bear pictograms and up or down arrows, as well as “+” or “-” signs.
The game is for children, and the rules are for adults. In my opinion, they are difficult for children to understand on their own.Manager is an economic game for young people. This is an exciting, lively game. Since the events that appear on the board during the game change very often, the players receive excellent training in quickly calculating economic situations and mathematical analysis.
The game helps develop business skills such as:
1
. GAME DESCRIPTION
The game can be played by 2 to 6 players. The game consists of:
2
. PREPARATION
Place the Property Rights cards under the edge of the game board according to the name of the property. Place the Surprise and Notice cards on the spaces indicated on the board. Each player receives one chip, which represents him during the game, and bank notes worth 20,000 rubles. One of the players is chosen as the banker.
3
. BEGINNING OF THE GAME
Everyone takes turns throwing the dice. The player with the highest total starts the game first. He places his chip on the “Start” cell, rolls the dice and moves in the direction of the arrow by the number of cells corresponding to the sum of the dice rolled. The player on the left continues the game and then goes clockwise. Players begin the next turn from the very cell where each chip remains. If the piece lands on a site owned by another player, he is obliged to pay him a rental fee. It should be noted that players must carry out all operations before the next roll of the dice. If one of the players rolls a “double” (two identical numbers on both dice), then this gives him the right, after passing the chip, to roll again. If he rolls a "double" three times in a row, he goes to the Exchange (however, he keeps all the properties and money he acquired). Throughout the game, the pieces circle several times. Every time a player stops or passes through the “Start” cell, the bank pays him 2,000 rubles.
4
. STOPPING AT AN AREA THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO ANYONE
When a player lands on a property that does not belong to anyone, he has the opportunity to buy this property from the Bank at the price indicated in the cell. If he wants to buy it, he pays to the Bank its price indicated on the site and receives a “Right to Property” card, which he takes out from under the edge of the playing field and places the top side on the table in front of him. If the player refuses the offer to make a purchase, the banker must immediately auction it off to the highest bidder. All players and the one who originally refused the purchase take part in the auction if they want to. The price is determined by the banker. It is recommended that players buy any property, since the game loses interest if there are unsold properties in the Bank.
5
. STOPPING AT AN AREA BELONGING TO SOME PLAYER
When a player, whether he rolled a die or drew a card, lands on a lot owned by another player, the owner of that lot receives a rental fee in accordance with the prices indicated on the “Property Rights” card. If the owner forgets to claim his rental fee before the subsequent dice roll, the rental fee should not be claimed. If a cell contains one or more branches, the rental fee becomes higher than the fee for a plot freed from any branches (prices are indicated on the “Right of Property” cards). If this plot is pledged, no rental fee will be charged. The mortgaged property is determined by turning the card face down on the table, under the playing field, according to the field.
A huge advantage is to own the property rights of all plots of the same color. In this case, the owner will charge double the fee for any unfinished plot of this group (whether other plots of this group are developed or not). If there is one mortgaged property in a group, this group is considered incomplete. You can only build on plots of the same color that are in the same hands. The benefit is to build branches and businesses rather than simply own a site, since the fees for hiring businesses are higher than the fees for hiring vacant sites. Before the start of his next turn, a player can exchange or sell plots to other players, with the goal of forming complete groups of the same color. It is in everyone's best interest that players negotiate these operations because the players' interests increase from the moment they can start building.
7
. STOPING ON "SURPRISE" OR "NOTICE" CARDS
Having stopped on the “Surprise” or “Notice” cell, the player takes the top card from the deck, respectively, and, following the instructions given there, again places the card under the deck facing the table. If a player receives a “Exit Exchange” card, it becomes his property and remains with him until it becomes necessary. After use, it must be returned to the deck. It can be sold to another player for a price set between them. Having stopped on the “Win” or “Fine” cell, the player receives or pays the specified amount to the bank, respectively.
8
.BANK
Choose a player as a banker who will become a good appraiser (at the auction). The banker takes part in the game; he must separate his personal capital from the capital of the Bank. The bank stores not only capital, but also branch and enterprise chips before they are purchased by players. The bank makes payments on cards and issues profits, sells properties, branches and enterprises, and receives the value of the “Right to Property” card purchased by players. He puts plots of land up for sale at auction, lends money against collateral, at a price of half the sale price indicated on the “Right to Property” caste.
9
. THE PLAYER GOES TO THE EXCHANGE
If the player ends up there during the normal course of the game, then his stay on the exchange is considered a “Simple Visit”. He suffers no penalty on his next turn. 10 . THE PLAYER EXITS THE EXCHANGE
When a player is sent to the Exchange, he must wait for his next turn in the game (even if he owns the “You are exempt from visiting the Exchange” card). A player must not remain on the exchange after his third turn in the game. Having thrown the dice for the 3rd time, he must (if he has not done a “double” before) pay a fine of 500 rubles or use the “You are exempt from visiting the Exchange” card and advance his chip by throwing the dice. During his stay on the exchange, the player can collect taxes from rental fees, build on his plots, buy, sell, or mortgage the "Right to Property".
11
. BRANCHES AND ENTERPRISES
A player who has 3 plots of the same color has the right to build branches and enterprises on them. Only one enterprise will be established on each site. It is necessary to have 3 branches on each site of a full group of the same color before setting up an enterprise. The price he must pay for each branch or business is listed at the bottom of each lot and Title card.
For example: if the player owns a complete group of cards of the same color; Before the next roll, he can buy 1 or several branches from the bank in order to build them on one or more plots of the same color that he owns. Construction should proceed evenly, i.e., on each site of the same color, one branch (or one enterprise) can be placed in one turn.
For example: A player cannot immediately place 2 or 3 branches on one plot if there is only one branch or none on another plot of the same group. If a player, having no money, resells his buildings to the Bank, he must also evenly remove one building from each plot of the same color in descending order. During the game, the Bank may not have enough branches and enterprises for those wishing to purchase them. In this case, players must wait until someone sells or returns them to the Bank.
12
. PROPERTY TRADE
Undeveloped plots can be sold or exchanged between players at a price suitable for both. No plot can be sold, mortgaged or exchanged if there is at least one building (branch or enterprise) on it. All buildings can only be sold to the Bank. The bank pays in cash 1/2 the price of the enterprise and 1/2 the price of the sum of all branches.
13
. 3ALOG
The enterprise and branches can never be mortgaged. Mortgaged property cannot be sold or exchanged - it changes ownership only in the event of bankruptcy. When a player needs money, he can pledge a plot (or several) to the Bank, having first sold all the buildings from them. In this case, the “Right to Property” card is turned face down under the playing field, according to the location.
14
. DEVASTATION
If a player owes more than he can pay, he gives his valuables to the Bank and leaves the game. The bank pays the creditor the full amount of the debt. Bankrupt branches and enterprises are returned to the Bank. The released “Property Rights” cards are placed under the playing field according to the location and can be purchased.
NOTE
Participants in the game should not help each other preserve their values. The bank lends money only against collateral. The player, who looked like someone else's chip, pays 100 rubles to the Bank. Game participants caught colluding must leave the game, returning all their attributes to the Bank.
