    Players buy and sell stock shares while manipulating prices strategically through market action cards. The goal is to have the most cash and stocks when the last card is played, but caution is advised, as players can be eliminated if their remaining stocks crash before the game ends. Originally published in 1961 as Broker, it was reissued in 1967 by the Otto Maier Verlag and has seen numerous reprints, including changes to rules and components in later editions.
