Maxi Bour$e is a 1987 board game published by TSR, Inc. that simulates stock market investing. Players trade shares in real-world corporations, navigating fluctuating prices and event cards as they try to dominate individual industries or build diversified conglomerates. The objective is to build wealth through market timing and portfolio strategy, responding to the shifting prices and market-moving events the game's cards introduce over the course of play. Published the same decade TSR was best known for Dungeons & Dragons and its other role-playing lines, Maxi Bour$e represents the company's venture into economic and financial-themed tabletop design, translating stock trading, price swings and corporate news into a competitive board game aimed at players drawn to business and finance themes rather than fantasy adventure.
