Free interpretation from the rules (originally in French)
Every player has to enrich his initial heritage by a smart combination of buying and selling, weighing the possibilities of higher rates and periodically revenues, without overstating the risks of every type of investment.
The winner has, at the end of the game, the patrimonium (=latin for heritage of the father) with the highest value.
A round plays (in short) like this :
Take a "bourse" card.
Play one of the five "bourse" cards holding in the hand.
Adjust the stock board.
Roll 3 dice and advance your pawn.
So you end your move on 3 possibilities :
On a negotiation , on the unexpected or on revenue.
The game comes with a gameboard (consisting of 30 cases and a stock board), 5 types of cards (Bourse, Immobilier, Fôret, Numismatique and Imprévu), 71 paper chips , 6 Patrimoniumboards, 6 pawns, 3 dice and 165 cheques.
