The Share Game

Players begin with equal holdings of industrial, oil, and mining shares, along with money. Each turn, a player draws a telegram and rolls two dice. One die determines which share type rises or falls, while the other sets the size of the price change. The player may also reveal the telegram immediately or hold it for later, applying its instruction to adjust a share price. Players then buy and sell shares at the current values before play passes to the next player. After the final telegram is drawn, the dice are rolled once more and each player may reveal any telegrams still held.
