Properties, building structures, and securities wealth-building strategy game and method of play

Abstract

A properties, building structures, and securities wealth-building strategy game is played by multiple players on a game board. The game board has spaces that depict a bank, a stock board, move tracker, a stock exchange, a parking lot property, and a building property. The players can purchase securities with currency. The value of the securities is determined by drawing from two decks of security cards, with each deck having a positive value and a negative value. The values are summed to determine an increase or decrease in the price for the securities. A parking lot property and a building property can be selectively purchased by players who land on the corresponding property space with currency. A building structure can be purchased by players to generate rental income. Individual floors can be purchased by players to add to building structures to further increase the rental income of building properties
