====''Stock Exchange''==== The original ''Stock Exchange'' add-on was published by Capitol Novelty Co. of [[Rensselaer, New York]] in early 1936.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Monopoly Stock Exchange |url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/9466/monopoly-stock-exchange-add |access-date=September 3, 2018 |website=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref> It was marketed as an add-on for ''Monopoly'', ''Finance'', or ''Easy Money'' games. Shortly after Capitol Novelty introduced ''Stock Exchange'', Parker Brothers bought it from them then marketed their own, slightly redesigned, version as an add-on specifically for their "new" ''Monopoly'' game; the Parker Brothers version was available in June 1936. The Free Parking square is covered over by a new Stock Exchange space and the add-on included three Chance and three Community Chest cards directing the player to "Advance to Stock Exchange".<ref name="sxg">{{Cite web |title=1936 Stock Exchange Game |url=http://monopoly.cdbpdx.com/StEx/ |access-date=October 26, 2011}}</ref> The ''Stock Exchange'' add-on was later redesigned and re-released in 1992 under license by [[Chessex]], this time including a larger number of new Chance and Community Chest cards. This version included ten new Chance cards (five "Advance to Stock Exchange" and five other related cards) and eleven new Community Chest cards (five "Advance to Stock Exchange" and six other related cards; the regular Community Chest card "From sale of stock you get $45" is removed from play when using these cards). Many of the original rules applied to this new version (in fact, one optional play choice allows for playing in the original form by only adding the "Advance to Stock Exchange" cards to each deck).<ref>{{cite web|title= Rules for Stock Exchange|url=https://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/StockExchangegame.pdf|work=Hasbro|date=1936|access-date=June 23, 2022|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030310210934/https://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/StockExchangegame.pdf|archive-date=March 10, 2003}}</ref> A ''Monopoly Stock Exchange Edition'' was released in 2001 (although not in the U.S.), this time adding an electronic calculator-like device to keep track of the complex stock figures. This was a full edition, not just an add-on, that came with its own board, money and playing pieces. Properties on the board were replaced by companies on which shares could be floated, and offices and home offices (instead of houses and hotels) could be built.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Monopoly: Stock Exchange (2001) |url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3065/monopoly-stock-exchange |access-date=September 3, 2018 |website=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref>
