Dump retail! Buy technology! Buy it all! No, wait? sell technology!! Sell! AAARGH!! In The Motley Fool?s Buy Low Sell High, players try to outtrade, outmanuever, and outplay their fellow investors on their way to riches and fame in the stock market. Who will be the richest Fool on Wall Street? Stocks rise and fall according to demand -- and other less predictable factors. The player that makes the wisest? ahem, the most Foolish choices will win the game and perhaps go down as the greatest investor that the world has ever seen. Or, at least... your game table. Remember: Buy Low and Sell High. It?s just that simple. Whoever is best at doing this will, as in our world at large, have more fun! Another of Reiner Knizia's fleet of games, this one is about making profits by buying and selling business stock. Players use cards to manipulate the price of three types of stocks (oil, technology, and retail), and the buying and selling of the stocks is pretty severely limited. Short and sweet, this game is both elegant and abstract. In a change from the original version, the three stocks have different levels of volatility. Technology is the most volatile, oil is the least volatile but with higher dividends, and retail falls in the middle.
