Black Friday The stock market game for 2 - 5 players

IDEA OF THE GAME

You are speculators in Black Friday who try to gain as much gold as possible before the huge stock market crash. Try to earn enough
cash by cleverly buying and selling shares, so you can spend it on the coveted precious metal. If you are the best at manipulating
market development and share prices, you have the best chance to win the game.

THE GAME WITH THE M.I.B.S.

Black Friday offers an independently acting opponent, the M.I.B.S. (minimally intelligent broker service). Depending on the number of
players you have, you may be able to opt to play with or without the M.I.B.S.
2 With 2 players, you have no choice and must play “in a threesome” with the M.I.B.S. Follow all details for 3 players.
With 3 or 4 players, you can choose to play with or without the M.I.B.S. When playing with the M.I.B.S., follow all details for
3- 4
4 or 5 players.
5 The game is designed for at most 5 players. Thus, with 5 players play without the M.I.B.S.
The required game rules for the M.I.B.S. follow after the general rules.

must refill the center “share sale” track again with shares.
The game ends after any price adjustment if the gold token
has moved to 100 on the “gold price” track. You may ignore any
further price increases from this point.
Now, sell all remaining shares you still own for the current
prices. Do not adjust prices for these sales.
Then, determine your wealth: In addition to your cash, each
small gold bar counts as $100, and each big gold bar $500.
If you have the highest total in Dollars, you win the game. In the
case of a tie, the player with the most money in gold bars is the
winner. Gold is the safest investment.
