## What is Stock Market Board Game?

Stock Market is a retro-style board game for the iPad.

Play the Stock Market and you could earn your fortune! With each throw of the dice, you can buy and sell shares, collect dividends and attend stockholder meetings. The winner is the first person to reach the "Winning Net Worth". Several game rules are customizable allowing you to adjust the behaviour of the game and extend or shorten the length of a game.

The stock prices go up or down with each move depending on the square you land on. Remember to buy low, sell high and attend as many stockholder meetings as possible and you could earn your fortune playing the market.

Play against three difficulty levels of AI, other (local) humans or any combination of the two.

Custom board layouts can be added via iTunes.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-10-04*

This game won’t open, no options for suppo Ty

### 5/5 — My favorite game, but…….

*2024-09-16*

I loved this game as a kid. My friends and I would play for hours. The calculator was invented it made it 1000 times better. I still love it a lot.

Now to the “but” part. I have figured out the algorithm and I’m able to play the same exact game for over 100 Rolls. Both the Computer and I get the same sequence of rules endlessly. I spent a few hours riding down each role for both me and the Computer. I know this sounds insane, but there’s a way to make the game start the same way repeatedly. I won’t detail it here.

At any rate, I still love this game tremendously and have played it literally thousands of times since I bought it for $.99. A steal in my book.
Thank you so much for figuring out how to make it available electronically.

Some larger, bank notes and share notes would be greatly appreciated.

### 5/5 — Dice are not rigged

*2024-02-29*

I think the algorithm reflects the true odds of each dice roll.
If in doubt, create a table for each dice roll and observe if there is a major deviation from real dice probability.
It would be more work to create a mathematically non-natural bias different between human and AI and it serves no purpose. The bias is in the user's perception IMHO.

### 4/5 — It a lot of fun BUT…

*2024-02-20*

This game is great and follows the board game well.  However, the dice rolls are clearly rigged here.  In some other games you can choose a “bias” for the dice or choose fully random… I sure wish you could do that here.

### 5/5 — Great Game - Dice still Rigged

*2023-11-26*

I loved playing this game back in high school.  So much so, my friend and his mom extended the game by creating larger currencies and creating some minor house rules (e.g. buying 1 share was assumed).  This digital version is great and I keep coming back to it even though the dice rolls are not random.  The developers should either 1) fix the dice rolls so that they are truly random 2) generate pre-rolled dice (say 10,000), shuffle those and then doll out the dice sequentially like cards.

### 5/5 — Works Beautifully

*2023-06-18*

Despite some comments I've seen, I have managed to build my wealth up to almost 3.6 quadrillion. It gets difficult to sell fast enough when shares reach very high in the billions but the key is to always have enough cash on hand to survive the corner...barely enough cash is BEST. After surviving the corner sell only as much of your stocks as you need to barely survive the next corner ONLY IF you're within 12 spaces of it. Sell stock only when on the high side if possible. This method maximizes your wealth in stocks at all times...which is how you make all your money. Also don't accumulate too much excess cash because idle cash does nothing. Buy tons when on the low side when possible but always buy what you don't have regardless. The computer DOES NOT favor itself I have found. Just prepare in advance and you'll do very well.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-09-21*

Best game ever, buy it!

### 5/5 — Great game perfect adaptation of a classic

*2021-04-02, version 1.2.1*

Love this game. Just wish I could play it on my phone. Those complaining about the dice are crazy. I play against all AI and nearly never hit the sell all squares. The long and short of it is after every multiplier you have a 3 square run of squares that punish you. That’s roughly a 1 in 4 chance of hitting them give or take depending on how far away from it you are

### 2/5 — Probability issue

*2020-06-18*

As some others have written there is some kind of dice/probability issue I land on undesirable spaces at least 10 times as much as the computer player.

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2019-04-27*

I’ve really enjoyed this game- it’s simple but nuanced. Very good for honing your judgement skills,
