ABSTRACT:
The preferred embodiment of this invention features a trading game in which some or all of the activities, features and events related to a stock exchange or the like, may be simulated for the enjoyment of 2 or more players. The game consists of 5 sessions and 3 steps in each session and it is played on a simple game board characterized by providing a distinct trading symbol in each of the playing spaces therein, for the players to select at least one trading symbol per turn to conduct simulated trading transactions. The value of the simulated investments represented therein are subject to change during the game and at game-end, the player accumulating the most play money over his/her start up funds, wins the game. This invention also provides a method of continuing playing, thereby linking together the 5 sessions game with a plurality of succeeding completed 5 sessions games. The game closes after every 5 sessions game and re-opens to run continuously over an undetermined period of time. The game may be played by up to a large and varying group of players. Each participant plays and finish his/her own game independently from each other. The player achieving the largest score on record is the current champion until another player betters this record score. A former player may better his/her previous score as a new player. The 5 sessions game may be played with or without employing the method of continuing playing.
