ABSTRACT:
A board game wherein players, in turn, roll dice to determine which company is in play. That player then has the option to buy stock in that company. When a player owns enough stock to be declared chairman of the board, he or she takes posession of the chairman of the board card for that company. Now, in addition to earning dividends on stock held, the player holding the chairman of the board card also earns a quarterly salary and, as chairman of the board, is qualified to take the company to the next level of play thereby increasing the value of the stock, the quarterly dividends, the chairman of the board salary and the quarterly earnings of the company. Whenever another player owns more stock in a company than the current chairman of the board, that player takes posession of the chairman of the board card and is said to have taken over the company, thus, in the course of the game a company may change hands many times. Players encounter event cards that impact companies in play and personal cards that impact players holding chairman of the board cards. The player ending up with the most wealth at the end of the game is declared the winner.
