ABSTRACT:
A stock market game apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a game board defining a game piece movement pathway thereon including a plurality of movement units. At least some of these movement units are associated with a plurality of stocks used for building stock portfolios among the game players. A display unit provides players with information concerning the current value of stocks within the game and providing a running total of the value of the stock portfolios they have built. The values of these stock portfolios are determined by receiving and inserting ownership tokens into slots associated with the player's stock portfolio. This action selects a particular valuation algorithm associated with the stock that determines the value of the stock using a processor internal to the display.
