Each player is issued 4 celluloid markers each marked LONG on one side and SHORT on the other. They place them on the board on the 'PLACE ORDERS HERE' square for any of 12 different stocks. There are 10 squares above and below this square and rolling the 3 special bakelite dice will tell you which stocks change value and whether they go up or down. 2 of the dice contain the names of the 12 companies on the game board and a 3rd dice has 3 'UP' and 3' DOWN' values. Each roll will impact 2 companies and the UP/DOWN die will tell how much the value changes. The player moves his marker up or down according to the roll of the dice. When the marker get to the top or bottom of the board, you either win or lose depending on whether you chose LONG or SHORT for that stock.
