Bulls and Bears (1936)

BULLS AND BEARS is based on the buying and selling of stocks in order to profit, either by a rise in the prices of stocks held, or by receipt of income in the form of dividends. Players hope, as in real life, that the prices of their particular holdings of stock will rise or that they will be able to “corner" a stock and force the other players to be penalized. Players buy and sell stocks from and to each other. Although much depends on the individual player’s luck he can increase his winnings by selling certain stocks and holding other stocks at the proper time. After a few games a player will learn the best way to buy and sell his stocks and to take advantage of the various opportunities which arise in the game. THE OBJECT of the game is for one player, by wisely manipulating his holdings, to acquire all the money and to become the owner of all the stock. THE WINNER of the game is the player remaining after the other players have been forced from the game by the loss of all their money and stock certificates.
