A marker movable in response to instructions from spaces of the closed loop path for collectively displaying the current indicia for each of the stocks. Control of a particular stock is obtained by a player accumulating a predetermined number of shares of the stock which represents control, thereby requiring the other players to pay a multiple of the current value of stock displayed by the stock market pricing display for each share of the controlled stock they purchase. Advantageously, an inner path interconnects with the closed loop path and includes interconnected discrete spaces some of which include instructions for forming a private corporation. A private corporation pricing display determines the selling price of each private corporation.
