Board Game Arena

hi i love playing stockmarket or 18xx games and i found these 2 games which i am a fan of-
Stockpile
a bluff stock market game where you can bluff info about shares which can cause panic selling or mass buying of a pile very fun and simple. where u can bet on company stocks.(not a classic market game buying or selling of shares does not affect their price)
City of the Big Shoulder
A game with a feel of 18xx and classic market sims, here you run companies manage their account , produce and stock price, complex but very fun and engaging game buying or selling of shares does affect their price.

looking for similar games.

I am a huge fan of these as well. Along with Acquire (which unfortunately is not on here). I like almost any economic game out there.

Irish Gauge
Ekonos
Trick of the Rails, I think. Never played it

Though Acquire doesn't have stock...

???
Maybe we're defining stockholding differently.

You might look at Chicago Express or Paris Connection. There’s also For-Ex although that’s currencies rather than stocks.

.

Acquire does have stock.

I really wish BGA would acquire Acquire. It seems like a perfect game for this platform, and I know quite a few people who would play it here.

Irish Gaudge and Arabella have stocks, and maybe more games, especially in the railway section https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?themeTag=109
