. TRADER V2.2 IS A GAME OF INTERSTE LLAR TRADING - A KIND OF BULLS AND BEARS .AMONG THE STARS IF YOU WILL.. . THE OBJECT OF THE GAME IS TO AMASS THE GREA TEST AMOUNT OF MONEY. THIS IS.ACCOMPLIS HED BY ESTABLISHING VAST INTERSTELLAR SH IPPING LANES AND PURCHASING.STOCK IN THE COMPANIES THAT CONTROL THOSE TRADE ROUT ES. DURING THE COURSE OF.THE GAME, STOC K APPRECIATES IN VALUE AS THE COMPANIES BECOME LARGER. SMALLER.COMPANIES CAN BE MERGED INTO LARGER ONES AND STOCK IN TH E SMALLER FIRM IS.CONVERTED INTO STOCK I N THE LARGER ONE AS DESCRIBED BELOW.. .J UST REMEMBER THE OLD ADAGE: "BUY LOW, SE LL HIGH".. .ON EACH TURN THE COMPUTER WI LL PRESENT THE PLAYER WITH FIVE PROSPECT IVE SPACES.TO OCCUPY ON A 9 X 12 MATRIX (THE GALACTIC MAP). THE PLAYER, AFTER E XAMINING.THE MAP TO DECIDE WHICH SPACE T HE PLAYER WISHES TO OCCUPY, RESPONDS WIT H THE ROW.AND COLUMN OF THAT SPACE (IE. 7E, 8A, ET CETERA). THERE ARE FOUR POSS IBLE TYPE.MOVES A PLAYER CAN MAKE:.*. .1 . THE PLAYER CAN ESTABLISH AN UNATTACHE D OUTPOST (DISPLAYED AS A '+'). IF THE. PLAYER SELECTS A SPACE THAT IS NOT ADJAC ENT TO A STAR, ANOTHER UNATTACHED.OUTPOS T OR AN EXISTING SHIPPING LANE, THIS SPA CE WILL BECOME AN OUTPOST. THE.PLAYER WI LL THEN PROCEED WITH STOCK TRANSACTIONS AS LISTED LATER.. .2. THE PLAYER CAN AD D TO AN EXISTING LANE - IF THE SPACE SEL ECTED IS ADJACENT.TO ONE - AND ONLY ONE- EXISTING SHIPPING LANE. THE SPACE WILL BE ADDED TO THAT.SHIPPING LANE AND WILL BE DESIGNATED WITH THE FIRST LETTER OF T HE COMPANY THAT.OWNS THE SHIPPING LANE. IF THERE ARE ANY STARS OR UNATTACHED OU TPOSTS ALSO.ADJACENT TO THE SELECTED SPA CE, THEY, TOO, WILL BE ADDED TO THE EXIS TING LANE..EACH NEW SQUARE ADJACENT TO A STAR ADDS $500 PER SHARE AND EACH NEW O UTPOST ADDS.$100 PER SHARE TO THE MARKET VALUE OF THE STOCK OF THAT COMPANY.. .* .3. THE PLAYER MAY ESTABLISH A NEW SHIP PING LANE - IF THERE ARE LESS THAN FIVE. SHIPPING LANES CURRENTLY EXISTING (NOTED BY 'A - E'). A NEW SHIPPING LANE IS.ES TABLISHED BY OCCUPYING A SPACE ADJACENT TO A STAR OR AN UNATTACHED OUTPOST -.BUT NOT ADJACENT TO AN EXISTING SHIPPING LA NE. IF THE PLAYER ESTABLISHES A NEW.SHI PPING LANE, THE PLAYER IS AUTOMATICALLY ISSUED 5 SHARES OF STOCK IN THE NEW.COMP ANY AS A REWARD. THE PLAYER MAY THEN PR OCEED TO BUY STOCK IN ANY ACTIVE.COMPANY , INCLUDING THE ONE JUST FORMED. THE MA RKET VALUE OF THE NEW STOCK IS.ESTABLISH ED BY THE NUMBER OF STARS AND OCCUPIED S PACES AS DESCRIBED IN #2 ABOVE..*. .4. THE PLAYER MAY MERGE TWO OR MORE EXISTIN G COMPANIES - IF A PLAYER SELECTS A.SPAC E ADJACENT TO TWO OR MORE EXISTING SHIPP ING LANES, A MERGER OCCURS. THE.LARGER COMPANY TAKES OVER THE SMALLER COMPANY. IF BOTH COMPANIES ARE THE SAME.SIZE, TH E SURVIVOR IS DETERMINED BY ALPHABETICAL ORDER. THE STOCK OF THE.SURVIVING COM PANY IS INCREASED IN VALUE ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF SPACES AND.STARS ADDED TO ITS LANE. EACH PLAYERS STOCK IN THE DEF UNCT COMPANY IS EXCHANGED.FOR SHARES IN THE SURVIVOR ON A 2:1 RATIO. EACH PLAYE R IS ALSO PAID A CASH.BONUS PROPORTIONAL TO THE PERCENTAGE OF OUTSTANDING STOCK THEY HELD IN THE.DEFUNCT COMPANY. NOTE: AFTER A COMPANY BECOME DEFUNCT THROUGH THE MERGER.PROCESS, IT CAN REAPPEAR ON T HE BOARD WHEN, AND IF, A NEW COMPANY IS ESTABLISHED.(AS IN #3 ABOVE).. .*.AFTER THE PLAYER COMPLETES HIS MOVE, THE COMPU TER ADDS STOCK DIVIDENDS TO THE.PLAYER'S CASH-ON-HAND (5% OF THE MARKET VALUE OF THE STOCK IN THE PLAYER'S.POSSESSION) A ND THE PLAYER IS THEN OFFERED THE OPPORT UNITY TO BUY OR SELL STOCK.IN EACH OF TH E EXISTING COMPANIES. NOTE: STOCK SELLS FOR $100 LESS THAN THE.PURCHASING PRICE .. .NOTES:. .1. THE MARKET VALUE OF ALL STOCK IN A PLAYER'S POSSESSION IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.AT THE END OF THE GAME TO DETERMINE THE WINNER.. .2. IF THE MARKE T VALUE OF A STOCK EXCEEDS $3000 DURING THE GAME, IT SPLITS 2.FOR 1 -- THE PRICE IS CUT IN HALF AND THE NUMBER OF SHARES OWNED BY EACH PLAYER.IS DOUBLED.. .3. THE GAME LASTS FOR 48 MOVES.. .*.4. THE FASTEST MONEY CAN BE MADE BY PURCHASING STOCK IN NEW SHIPPING LANES THAT.ARE ON LY TWO ADJOINING OUTPOSTS (THE STOCK SEL LS FOR $200). THESE COMPANIES.TEND TO E XPAND OR BE MERGED QUITE RAPIDLY. IF A NEW TWO-OUTPOST COMPANY COMES.INTO EXIST ANCE CLOSE TO A GIANT EXISTING COMPANY, SELL ALL YOUR STOCK IN THE BIG.COMPANY A ND BUY AS MANY SHARES IN THE SMALL COMPA NY AS POSSIBLE!
