There are just 26 cards: 6 each for 4 companies, Oil, Diamonds, Gold, Rubber plus 1 Bull and 1 Bear card.
The only difference between the two edition's share certificates is that in the 2nd Edition the "5 Shares" certificates are distinguished by a white Number 5.
On the left is the 1st Edition Indicator Board with 4 small counters and 1 large counter, beneath that are 20 Pepys currency £1 coins. On the right is the 2nd Edition Indicator Board. Both editions used the same metal counters and coins. Paper currency changes colours from the 1st to 2nd editions. Both editions have exactly the same cards and boxes.
The small counters are the same as those used in Horsie-Horsie and the coins and large counter are the same as those used in Housing Drive.
A de-luxe version of the 2nd Edition was produced in a red velvet covered box with golden dividers. The contents are the same as a regular 2nd Edition copy of the game.
