Share Mania

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Share Mania is a board game published in 1988 by Perfect Games. It is a trading game in which dice are used to simulate the stock market of the United Kingdom. John Harrington reviewed it for Games International magazine and gave it three stars out of five, saying the rules are commendably brief for a game that is intended to be bright and breezy, but that some areas are confusing, particularly the difference between a round and a trading period, which common sense will mostly resolve.
