Call Up Put Down

Call Up Put Down is a boardgame from Trading Pursuits Pty Ltd, a trading education company. The objective of the game is to earn $1,000,000 from trading options. They begin with a starting capital (usually $10,000), and then make decisions whether to buy / sell Call options or Put options based on the charts viewed on the DVD. The DVD contains 50 sets of charts, and only one chart is viewed at a time (by selecting a card that contains numbers 1 to 50 at random). The players make their decisions, and then moves to the next screen of the trade by using the DVD controls. When it reaches the last day to trade, all players must sell their options, and compute the final balance, which is recorded on the Trading Diary. The board contains a track showing amounts from $0 to $1,000,000, and player's tokens move forward or back on the track depending on their balance. The first player who reaches $1,000,000 wins.
