Step into the bustling early stock market of the coffee-houses of 18th Century London, where fortunes can be won or lost in seconds over nothing more than rumours.

Experience the birth of the modern stock market, where politicians, gentlemen, opportunists and scoundrels collided to buy and sell shares in the British Empire's newest financial ventures.

Witness the first financial bubbles and make a killing on an overheard rumour before the papers get to it, or spread your own to gain an edge over your competition.

Invest in estates that provide you with unique bonuses to beat out your competition, then compare your performance in an open market bidding system against four rival traders, each with their own unique strategy.

Will you be a bull or a bear when word spreads that the East India Company's fleet has been lost at sea? Will you be an early investor in the Bank of England before the rest of London catches on? Do you have the cutthroat instincts of an 18th century broker?

Can you climb to the top of the greasy pole?

Wishlist Exchange Alley today and be among the first to experience the chaos of history's first great stock market.
