About Ticker Tycoon

Ticker Tycoon is a turn-based stock market simulation game that puts you against the computer in a fight for net worth. Key game features include:

Custom Settings: You can choose exactly your style of play by changing:

Difficulty Settings: Don't allow the computer to trade options or short sell to give yourself an advantage and a chance to learn. You can also give yourself a handicap for extra help.
Game Length: You determine how much net worth is needed to win and thus how long the game will run. Play for a quick $100 million or set up a long drawn out fight for $100 billion!
News Events: You decide how often random news events will pop up and how much they can affect things.

Learn While You Play: The game allows you to learn a bit about the stock market as you play:

Challenging Opponent: The computer isn't impossible to beat, but it isn't easy either:

View the computer's portfolio to learn how to trade better yourself.
Start sweating as the computer slowly but surely overtakes you. The computer knows all about diversification - it won't make quick bucks but won't go up and down a lot either.

Easy-to-Use Graphical User Interface: It's easy to quickly learn how the game works:

All of the game features are always just a few clicks away (often just one!).
Many shortcuts allow for quick play. For example, if you want to sell that MSFT call option you bought last turn, just double-click on it on your portfolio and all of the data is entered for you!
