Matthew Gray has whipped up a Virtual Board Game Stock Market, where participants can buy shares in Spiel des Jahres nominees, trying to predict which game wins the award. Each share in the winning game pays $100 in the end of the game and player with the most money wins — of course it’s possible to gather money by making good trades, even if you miss the winner.

Around the World in 80 Days, Niagara, Manila and Amazonas are currently going for the highest prices. It’s an interesting experiment and I’ll be curious to see how much money the winner will accumulate.
