Description
In Panic on Wall Street! you take on the role of a freewheeling capitalist out to outmaneuver your competitors and earn your place as a great industrialist.
Players are divided into managers and investors. Your goal is to earn more money than any other manager (if you are a manager) or more money than any other investor (if you are a investor) by the end of the fifth round.
Each round managers and investors negotiate with each other in a noisy, two-minute free-for-all to set a purchase price for shares in the managers' companies. Investors then collect income from the shares they purchased but not until a roll of the dice brings (sometimes drastic) changes to the economy, with major consequences for the balance sheet of each player. Managers collect what they are owed from investors, pay fees for each of their companies, and buy new companies at auction.
After five rounds of play (5 months), the manager and the investor who have accumulated the most money are each declared victors, the undisputed masters of commerce.
Panic on Wall Street! is the new edition of Masters of Commerce. See 'More Information' below for differences between the two editions.

Quotes (from this video)
- I hope you [__] are interally grateful to me for causing myself this much pain and suffering

Quotes (from this video)
- it's Shadows over Camelot yeah
- one of you may be a dirty filthy traitor and you'll be working against the other players trying to make bad [__] happen without getting caught
- credited as being one of the first hidden traitor games
- it's lighter and easier to play and quicker than games like battar Galactica
- the component quality is fantastic this comes from an era when desel Wonder actually made quality games
- this is Memoir 44

- if it was made sort of compatible with the existing stuff you sort of edge your way into it you know sort of wean yourself off of the old stuff and gradually buy the new stuff as it come along then maybe they could make this game feel like more modern have updated components
- something like 20 years old it's about time that we all admitted to ourselves that there needs to be a reprint of this a refresh it needs to be brought up to date with the current fantastic high quality standards of modern board games
