    Description

    Market Maker is a complete, patented stock market simulation, cleverly hidden in a deck of cards. In Market Maker, you will buy and sell shares of a single company’s stock with other players. At the beginning of every game, the stock price starts at 100, and each card moves the price up or down. Most Market Maker cards have a news headline on them. These headlines represent real corporate, government, technology, economic, and other events that have affected the prices of real stocks in the market.

    Each player gets 2 private cards, and 5 cards are dealt face-down to the table. The 2 private cards you were dealt are your Research Reports, and the information on them will move the stock price up or down, depending on whether the news is good or back for shareholders. Just like the company research reports published by real analyst firms, this information gives you a trading advantage over others with less knowledge.

    In Market Maker, you will buy and sell shares of a single company’s stock with other players. To make a profit when trading stocks, you will need to buy shares at a low price and sell them at a higher price. When you buy low and sell high, the difference between those 2 prices is your profit. At the end of the of the game, everyone’s Research Reports will be made public, and the final closing price will be 100 plus or minus all the cards that were dealt. Players close out their trades with each other at the final closing price, and the person with the highest profit is the winner!
