At last—a money game for adults!

The Multi-National
Currency Exchange Game

Be forewarned! This game might not be for you ... unless you are a student of the international money market. Or, you are just plain curious as to why the U.S. dollar is worth less and less despite the fact that we are still the strongest nation in the world.

Simply put, Foreign Exchange is not a toy—a perfect simulation of the international currency situation, it is!

International companies realize gains and losses when changing currency rates alter the value of their income and assets in foreign countries. This game simulates this situation by letting players own and manage multi-national companies in various cities throughout the world. As in the real world, changing conditions require each player to make constant decisions after considering his company's financial resources—and what he expects his opponents to make—against the cost of alternative protective strategies.

Playing Foreign Exchange focuses on the interplayer relationships. Without such interplay relationships, no game is fun to play. With it, Foreign Exchange might just be the greatest money game to come along since Monopoly.

You—as company head—decide where in the world (literally) you want to establish sales and manufacturing offices. This Is done at the beginning through a round of trading among players until everyone is satisfied they've outsmarted their opponents.

From this point on, a variety of situations and happenstances will determine likely changes in currency rates. You—the manipulator—must plan the strategies you think best to maximize gains.

Foreign Exchange was designed by a professional money-management expert and executive officer of a leading financial institution.

Foreign Exchange is probably the most enjoyably sophisticated money game around. It's an ideal 2 to 4 player game for the serious student of currency exchange or just plain game buff.
