Expand on the Introduction section
Indian Business Board Game is a strategic economic board game that has been played throughout India for centuries. It originated from an ancient Indian form of dice gaming, and the modern form of the game emerged during the British colonial period. Though it was highly popular amongst Indian merchants, English factory agents and even British officials at the time, it was also a popular amusement among individuals among all sections of society in India.
Over time, the game has developed and taken on many different regional customs and rules depending on which culture or region within India it is being played in. The most popular versions include South Asian versions like Irani Hal-Gulla, Mallya Palli, Gul Bara or Parcheesi as well as North Indian versions like Tabhla, Mensi and Business Mela. Furthermore, each version may have additional variations that are unique to a particular city or region in India. For example, Gulla Khel ” often referred to as “20 cards” ” is a considerable variation of Hal-Gulla which can be found in Sikh communities around northern Punjab and western Uttar Pradesh populations. Despite these variations from region to region, the basic structure of each game remains similar; players roll dice in order to move their pieces around various stations inside of a loop track marked out by pins on the board.

Variations:
1. Divide the players into two teams with each player being assigned to one specific category. The game is conducted as normally, but each team must track both its own wins and losses as well as their opponents’ wins and losses in order to determine which team had the most success overall.
2. Limit the turns that each player can take by assigning a number of turns that each player can use up during their turn (e.g. 3 turns or 5 turns). When these turns are used up, they must pass the turn to another player.
3. Create an advanced version of the game in which money and/or other resources need to be used when buying or selling stocks in order to increase profits and/or reduce losses. This could include penalties for incorrect purchases or insufficient holdings, as well as bonuses for successfully predicting market trends over multiple rounds of play.
Expand the Tips for Engaging Gameplay
1. Ask thought-provoking questions throughout the game: Asking open-ended questions will encourage thoughtful discussion that may provide insight into the way your opponents think and their strategies.
2. Incorporate incentives for paying attention: Players should be rewarded for paying attention throughout the game by earning additional points for noticing certain strategies or tactics being used by competitors.
3. Make sure everyone gets to contribute: Everyone should have an opportunity to share their insights and ideas, especially in a competitive scenario such as this one. Set up rules so that everyone’s opinion is heard during debate and decisions are reached collaboratively.

5. Discuss results after the game ends: After the rounds conclude, make sure to discuss how decision making impacted each outcome. This can help players better understand their own strengths, weaknesses, and preferences when it comes to playing Indian Business Board Game in the future.

Playing Indian Business Board Game is a great way to test your business acumen. To begin playing the game, you will need a copy of the board, dice and pieces. Each player takes an equal number of shares in the stock market, called Stock Lots. Shuffle the Stock Lot cards and place them face up on the board. Roll both dice to get the starting capital for each player by multiplying both numbers together. Place that sum in front of each player to represent their initial capital for buying shares.
Players take turns rolling two dice and selecting one lot from either side of the board at value similar to what was rolled. Players can buy and sell stocks as they wish; however, they cannot buy more than their allotted amount or selling at a loss. Once all lots are traded, players must declare whether they wish to continue or end the trading round; if they choose to continue, another round must be played until there is only one player left. The winner is determined by calculating profits made from stock holdings/transactions in relation to each other’s total capital gains made throughout gameplay.
