Profit & Loss

Now here's a game from 1977 with a relatively short title and a mouthful of a game maker's name. The game is Profit & Loss ; the maker is Hollow Stump Bungalow Books & Games.

As the name suggests, two to six players buy and sell various items (antiques, art, securities, real estate, collectibles, etc.), trying to achieve a profit on each one. However, victory goes to the first player to reach $1,000,000, so at the end of the game it may be worthwhile to dump items at a loss to reach the finish first.
