StokMark: A 1–4 player game about trading in shares to make a profit. The player buys and sells four different stocks, and receives dividends on stocks every four turns based upon purchase price. The player is provided information on dividends, yield, and price/earning ratio for each stock. Each player starts with £1,200, and the first to reach £5,000 wins.

Telemark: A four-player game where the player must manufacture and sell televisions. The first player to gain more than half the market is the winner. Each turn, the player can choose to spend money on increasing their factory to improve maximum production, spend money on research to increase attractiveness or decrease price of their product, and must choose the number of televisions to manufacture and the cost to sell them at. The sale price of televisions is hidden from other players. Each turn the player must pay overhead on their factories.
