Description

Speculation is a classic economic board game that's all about making smart investments and coming out on top. Designed for 2 to 4 players, this 60-minute game is easy to learn and quick to get started, with simple rules that can be explained in no time. First published in 1989, Speculation has been a favorite among fans of commodity trading games for decades. The goal is straightforward: finish with the most money by buying and selling shares of blue chips, gold, oil, and treasury bonds. As players roll the dice and move around the board, they'll have the chance to buy and sell shares by landing on Market Mover spaces. The twist is that every time someone lands on one of these spaces, the share prices change, adding an element of unpredictability to the game. With the help of wild cards and trading worksheets, players can strategize and make informed decisions about their investments. The game comes with play money and shares, and players can use one, the other, or both to keep track of their portfolios. With its unique blend of luck and strategy, Speculation is a fun and engaging game that's perfect for anyone who loves economic games or is just looking for a new challenge.
