	Description Edit \| History

First, you decide on what finished goods you want to sell and how much, based on your capital. Based on that, you buy the raw materials necessary to do that. You combine raw materials to make finished goods. You sell the finished goods.

You have to bid on the purchase price of the raw materials and the sales price of the finished goods. When supply exceeds demand the prices drop. When demand exceeds supply the prices rise. If you bid less than the going price, you get nothing.

Easy to learn, but interesting strategies. Somewhat mechanical, but a good game by Sid Sackson.

Part of the 3M Bookshelf Series.

Automated Trade Manager v1

***VERSION TWO adds the ability to name the players and should make it clearer how to change the number of players.*** Also, Version Two should open to the beginning by default instead of opening to the LAST page.*** Excel spreadsheet runs all of the math of the game, keeping track of cash and resources for every player. Enter player orders in blue boxes. If you would prefer cash on hand to be kept secret, you can "hide" the cash columns inside Excel. If you find any bugs or missing features that should be added or ways to make the interface better, please send me a message.
