Original game from 1919. Published by Parker Brothers 1947 and later edition by Winning Moves. For 3-8 players and takes about 90 minutes to play. From age 7 and up. The game is based on the exciting scenes of the American Corn Exchange. There are nine cards each of Barley, Corn, Coffee, Oranges, Oats, Soy, Sugar, or Wheat. The idea is to obtain, by trading, all nine cards of any one kind. If you do this, you have a CORNER. If you corner Wheat, (by getting all nine Wheat Cards), you get 100 points; Corn, 75 points; Oats, 60 points, etc., as indicated on the cards. The game is 500 points.
