Stockpile Board Game

My nephew works in London for one of the massive investment banks trading Exotics. Whilst not being entirely sure what this is I realise that he is not lacking the financial wherewithal to buy just about anything he wants, within reason. Looking for a birthday present recently I was thus a little stuck until, suddenly, inspiration struck. I did a quick search for 'financial board games' and this led me, as most roads do these days, to Amazon and to this fabulous product.I ordered it and was a little surprised that it took a few days to arrive but was then amazed that it was being shipped , with my thanks!, from Australia for free - with more thanks. Sure enough, it arrived and although I cannot say that I have played it and thus cannot comment on the game itself - for the person who has everything apart from this ! it's perfect. With my thanks for a super service and supplying a great birthday idea for the trader in all of us.

Great game. Lots of fun and very engaging. Works well even for 2 players. Only bad point really is that the actual quality isn't great, the board is fine but the cards seem quite cheap compared to other games.

The choice of wraparound means that the advanced side of the board does not look so great, and the quality of the box and cards might be a little higher. But this is an excellent game and those minor issues have not detracted from the overall enjoyment

We were able to try this game before ordering and what a fun game it was. The set up was fairly short and the time reading the directions so that you could play your first game was fairly short. It also did not take very long to play this game (30 minutes or so).After playing it once we tried it again and we were able to work out several strategies that would work in this game.The idea behind this game is you are buying or selling stock with an eye to getting the highest amount of money. You are given one insider tip each round, so you might know that the electric company is going to split, the auto maker is going to go down in value etc. And based on those tips and what you have in your hand you make decisions.We really enjoyed this game. My children range in ages from 12 to 18 plus my husband and myself. All of us were able to enjoy playing this game. I'd highly recommend it.
