Each Player has 6 Playing Pieces and tries to pick up Victory Points by collecting Tokens at the end of the 6 tracks of the board. Each Track is labeled with a number of 5 to 10. In your turn you roll the 4 dice and put them to groups of 1 to 4 dice each. The total of each group allows you to move one of your pieces in the according track, until you reach the final space of the track, the X-space. When reaching it and when again having a group of dice with the total of that track you get a chip of this number, which is worth the same number of victory points.

When you invest in the stock exchange, you want to buy low and sell high! But it does not always go that way, so sometimes you will need subsidies from the government to keep investing. To keep the stocks you have acquired on the rise, you must convince other players they have value so they will buy those stocks and keep your profits soaring.

Now the signs suddenly show that there could be a coming burst. You must decide quickly if the signs are right and sell your holdings or wait a bit longer for them to rise further and increase your profits.

Good card games can be so simple: either take a card or pay a chip. Anyone can make that decision, right? However, there's a catch - in fact there are two. Nobody wants the cards, not even for free, because they give you points in a game where you need to have the fewest points to win. And the chips? They are scarce, very scarce.

Sometimes it is best to race like rabbit; others, it is best to move slowly and cautiously like the turtle. In the end, it is the best combination of the two strategies that will win the race. Great fun for families, but also some serious strategy for serious players.
