Kabushiki Doujou (Japan)

In Kabushiki Doujou, players step into the dynamic world of the Japanese stock market in the 1980s. The primary goal is to accumulate as much wealth as possible by trading stocks.

You begin with a certain amount of capital and have access to a list of companies listed on the stock exchange. The game interface displays current stock prices, price fluctuation charts over time, and crucial economic news. Players must closely monitor the market, analyze trends, and read news reports to make informed investment decisions.

The gameplay of Kabushiki Doujou focuses on portfolio management. You must decide when to buy stocks at a low price and when to sell them to realize profits. Factors such as company earnings news, political events, or even natural disasters can significantly impact stock prices. For instance, news of a company's new invention might cause its stock to surge, while a scandal could lead to a sharp decline.

The game is not just about simple buying and selling; it also requires players to have long-term strategies and risk management skills. You need to weigh whether to hold onto stocks in anticipation of further price increases or sell immediately to avoid losses. With each passing day in the game, the market experiences new fluctuations, presenting both opportunities and challenges. Kabushiki Doujou offers a deep economic simulation experience, helping players understand the mechanics of the financial market.
