Market Board Games

Recommended Posts

There was a thread at ET talking about board games that pertain to the markets and thought I'd post here to see if anyone has any other ideas. The ones offered I think are your standard monopoly type boring games IMO.

 

My personal favorite is PIT DELUXE. What a fun game. If you are looking for a way to kinda show people what you do or need a different gift, check that game out. What I like is what you can literally know nothing about trading and get into the game. Afterwards you can say - that's kinda what I do every day. Note to the analytics - this is not a perfect representation of trading by any stretch, but it can at least make it fun trying to explain.

 

I know during the holidays having a good game to go to is nice, so share your favorites if you know of any others that can deal w/ the markets.

 

An oldie but goodie is Monopoly as well. Which is now electronic. I feel old now. ;)

 

I did a general Stock Market Games search on Amazon and there's actually more than I expected.

Pit looks interesting. If my daughter was old enough to play I would buy it.

 

Electronic monopoly doesn't do justice. How can you work your negotiation magic? I won a game of Monopoly recently by knocking off a few players..hehe

I used to be quite into games. A lot go out of print relatively quickly.Many games will have a trading phase or a trading mechanic within them. Not surprising really, I have something (and that could be anything in the context of the game from apples to ziggurats) that you want... how much will you pay?

 

One that springs to mind is a board game called Civilisation that had a resource (card) trading phase very similar to pit. It was a small part of a complex game... Considered a classic. I vaguely recall a game called 'shocks and scares' a pun on stocks and shares that was firmly routed in trading. That will almost certainly be out of print.

 

Despite racking my brain having difficulty remembering games with some sort of trading as the whole premise. Mind you many card games involve trading cards in some shape or form but that is often simply swapping rather than trading.

 

Oh last thought....a handful of games had a betting mechanic, kind of related.

    • I guess US has fund managers and investment banking institutions looking after the portfolios on behalf of their clients.
    • There are many resources related to forex trading available on forums like babypips and forexfactory etc.
    • Candle stick pattern is one of the easiest charting patterns available to learn and make money. However, new traders never learn about the skills needed for earning money but they rush for making money and eventually lose their money.
    • Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’.  Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) . Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency.  However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples - You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled.  Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat. Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ... Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’ Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice... Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’
