## Description
1920 Wall Street is a vibrant card game that places you at the heart of the 1920s Wall Street, where speculation, investment and set‑collection of shares intertwine in a frantic race for power and profit. Each session gathers 2 to 5 players competing for shares in four major industries: corn, cotton, steel and oil. The goal is simple yet nuanced: buy cards, sell when you need cash, and use your action cards to influence company values on the market. Commodity speculation lets you try to predict price swings, while stock holding offers the chance to profit or protect your portfolio. The highlight is the market dynamics that shift from a calm initial phase to high volatility when the famed “Wall Street Bombardment” hits. This final event not only ends the game but also changes how cards are discarded, thereby affecting final scoring. The game demands strategic thinking, hand management and a touch of luck to know when to sell or hold. If you enjoy simulating markets, testing investment skills, and collecting card sets, 1920 Wall Street will make you feel the buzz of trading floors and the scent of freshly‑made money.
