Stocks

Setup
This game is played with only the Standard Deck. Deal five cards in a row; these represent your stock offers. Deal another five cards below the the stock offerings to represent stocks you own but wish to trade. If you turn up a double point card when dealing your stocks, put it in a row above the stocks offers and deal another card to your stock row. Repeat if the next card is a personality, and so on until you have five stocks which are not double point cards. The row above  the stock offers is the preferred stock offers. You only place cards in the preferred stick offer if you turn up a double point card while dealing your stock, so there will typically be few or no cards there. If you place a sixth card in the palace row, however, the game ends immediately.

Game Play
You use your stocks to trade for stock offerings or preferred stock. In order to do so, discard one or more cards from your stock row. The cards must have the same number suit as either the number suite or the rank of the stock being purchased. In addition the stock you discard must have a combined ranking equal to or higher the the rank of the card you are purchasing. If the card you have purchased is a double point card then set it aside otherwise add the card you purchased to you stock row.

Game Ends
The game can end in one of three ways.


 * 1) You have all twelve collected all twelve double point cards. In this case you win!
 * 2) You cannot make any more moves, but there are double point cards  remaining in the deck or in the trade rows. You have run out of good  stock to trade with and lose.
 * 3) There are more than five double point cards in the preferred stock row.  You cannot purchase them before a competitor does and lose.
