Monopoly Stock Exchange Add-on is an expansion for Monopoly released in 1936 for 2–6 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by C. B. Hewison and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Trading, and Auction / Bidding.
STOCK EXCHANGE was orignally marketed by Capitol Novelty Co. as a supplement for Monopoly, Easy Money, and Finance real estate trading games. It allows players to buy and trade stocks in addition to real estate. Players attempt to build a portfolio of stock which will pay them dividends and give them more monetary clout during the game. Parker Brothers purchased the game from Capitol Novelty in 1936 and marketed it for a short time as a supplement for only Monopoly and Finance games (both Parker Brothers games), dropping Milton Bradley's Easy Money game. The 1937 version dropped the Finance reference and only listed Monopoly on the game box. Contains: Stock exchange board space (fits over "Free Parking."), eleven new Community Chest cards, ten new Chance cards, thirty stock shares (five each of six different companies). Expands: Monopoly Easy Money Finance and Fortune
