Black Friday — How to Play, and Why It's a Gem

This week's older board game gem is Black Friday! For my money, the best stock market game ever made. The game starts with low stock prices and a bull market, so players are buying up stocks, but you need to sell before the big market crash!

Board Gems is a weekly video series highlighting board games that aren't talked about much any more. Maybe they're a bit old, maybe they didn't make a big splash when they came out. For whatever reason, they're not in the hobby zeitgeist any more. But they're still great games, and haven't been fired by more recent releases. Games don't stop being good just because new games come out!
