'Your young stock broker will delight in this new game of stock market fun as they learn new skills for the next boom. Creators Donald and Betty Deitch made Wall Street Spin as a first introduction to the stock market. It captures the economic complexities to simulate real-life stock market investing without the complex math involved. There are names of companies in this game as well as jargon and is fun for the whole family to play. Players try to get 3 stocks in a color group, because it pays more dividends. When you own all 3 stocks, you can buy a blue chip marker which increases the values of all stocks in the group. You can buy or sell with other players for 2 minutes before your turn. When you land on un-owned stock, you have the option to buy it. When you land on someone else’s stock, you have to pay dividends. There are 24 color stock certificates included in this game and you play the market without risk. The object of the game is to get as much stock in cash in one hour (or set time). The player that has the most at the end of the game is the winner.
