    Invented by Betty and Donald Deitch from San Francisco, CA,
    Wall Street Spin® is a challenging, simple to play stock market
    game that was invented to lift people's spirits.

    "The fun, unique, novel aspect is our patented spin mechanism," says Betty.
    "It offers multiple outcomes without the complex math.
    Novice players can learn stock terms and quietly gain confidence in the market, while expert traders will love this game of strategy,
    skill and changes of fortune - without losing their shirt!"

* Homeschoolers *

    Here is the official Thumbs Up Games Review, by our intrepid play tester, Ms. Dynamo:

    As a homeschooling parent, I am always looking for effective ways to introduce complex subjects to my children. Wall Street Spin® does a wonderful job of exposing investment terminology (through the Bull and Bear cards), showing cause and effect (Booms, Crashes, IPOs and Hostile Takeovers) and even the speculative nature of the market (Day Trading). We have played this game so much, that the kids have mastered their own unique investment styles! (My daughter is conservative and only invests in the "Blue Chip" stocks, while my oldest son loves to wheel and deal.)

    Game play is open-ended. If we have the 90-minute limit, everyone knows to play more aggressively, to see who can create the most wealth. When we play until one player is bankrupt, the strategies are actually quite deep - selling and trading stocks, "bullying" each other into lucrative trades - GREAT FUN!

    Like all good games, Wall Street Spin® is fun to modify. We've created advanced rules that I hope will further my children's understanding of, and appreciation for the stock market.

    If you are a homeschooling parent, or if you just want your children to learn something about investing in the stock market (without boring them to tears), you should consider Wall Street Spin®.
