The Game

• Three Games for the price of One!
• BuySellorHold? is an intelligent and fun-filled action-packed game of strategy, designed for 2 – 6 players, that will see you laughing, crying, debating, discussing and arguing from start to finish.
• Within the same BuySellorHold? box, there are three game options designed for people with no previous knowledge of the Stock Market, right through to expert investors:
  • The Introductory Game – the basic game, simplified with fewer features to help people get more familiar with the aim of the game.
  • The Beginners' Game – the addition of a few more features such as share dealing from outside investors, 'Life' events and portfolio valuations during the game, makes this option ideal for people who are feeling confident about the game.
  • The Advanced Game – this option takes the game to the next level, and is ideally suited to people who have got to grips with the game and are looking for the ultimate challenge. Features include takeover battles, fees and commissions, and the transfer of money between players.
• How to Play... The game can take an hour to play, or can continue indefinitely – it's your choice as you set the time limit.
  
  • Each player starts with a notional £80,000 to buy and sell shares and build a portfolio as in real-life.
    
  • On every turn events occur; companies invent new products, directors resign, life events intervene and global tensions rise.
    
  • Share prices react, moving up or down, & players must decide whether to buy or sell shares affected.
    
  • Prices also move in response to the actions of other investors.
    
  • The winner is the player whose portfolio is worth the most at the end of the game.
    
  • To help you along the way, definitions of Stock Market terms and jargon are included, as well as explanations of Stock Market sayings, and suggestions of how best to manage a real portfolio.
• No experience of investing in the Stock Market is necessary.
