Missed out on the last spot because I was at the local boardgame night. Oh the irony. :smith:
Oh well, good luck to all involved. I will be following along for nostalgia's sake.

What update schedule are you aiming for OP?

I know that my uncle has a way different version. I am not sure of its rules (as far as I remember they are quite different) but what I do know is that the spinner has a sort of thing to the side where you can put flags in which represent the stocks you own. So there's no separate stock cards, there's these flags that go on the board. Does that version sound familiar to anyone?
I had the version of "Levensweg" with the flags. There was a space on the board that gave a one-time option to buy a stock. Later in the game you would pass spaces that gave the option to play on the stock markets, but only if you bought one of course.
i.e. Pick two numbers with the flags, spin the wheel and if your number came up, you won big.

My version also didn't have college loans. As a result, we hardly ever had to take out any loans. 1 loan at best if you were really unlucky and absolutely wanted to buy stocks or status symbols.
College was just a longer track than business with different careers having fixed spaces and salaries for doctor/journalist/attorney/teacher/physicist/dude(tte) with useless degree*.

*: the true horror of going to college: Spinning 7-8 and spinning 5+ on your second turn. You'd graduate without a career and earn less after college than you would if you just went into business.

How many computers are you upgrading for $10,000?
Perhaps they are upgrading to a bitcoin mining operation? Or they have discovered sim racing and absolutely wanted that big expensive set up. (3 monitors, vr-headset, racing cockpit,... :iiam:
