I thought that my stock market game could be playable solitaire, in theory. But besides playing a certain amount of time,getting the highest possible score and comparing score with previous game, there is not much to it.
I could add some difficulty by starting with a loan. Or maybe I could have some achievements like "try to get 10 share of each stock".
Any other ideas to make solo rules more interesting?|
Can you survive the "Great Market Crash"?!?! Not sure HOW you would implement this (the whole "survival") but the idea is during the first rounds of the game, you would be "accumulating" wealth and building a strong portfolio... But then there are "warning" signs about instability in the Market... And some shares fluctuate a little. And then at some point late in the game, comes a "Market Crash"... Where many shares get devalued (and this needs to have some randomness). And you only have sufficient turns to maybe make a couple quick trades and see IF you can "survive" the pressure of the crashing Market...
At the end of the game, you tally up your score/wealth to determine "How Well" you did to try to survive the Market Crash!
Could be FUN, if RANDOM and harder to predict. Just an idea...

I like it. I have a mechanism where bubbles can blow up and drop the market value considerably. I could put all the stock in red, and change a few rules.
So it would be some kind of scenario.
