Young Jacob Marley is an excellent banking game for 2-6 players.
Release Year: 2017

Young Jacob Marley is a clever little banking game. Players take turns buying and selling loans, using a small stake of Jacob Marley’s money. Some loans pay high interest, but are slow to earn out. Others pay back quickly, but might have very low interest (or none at all). Profit is all that matters here, so you must strive to earn the most money for your employer, and perhaps you’ll become his friend for life.
This game is based on an older game, Jacob Marley Esquire, from Cheapass Games (2004). This game has a simpler and better version of essentially the same mechanics. The Crab Fragment Labs version of Young Jacob Marley is nearly identical to the print-and-play version released by Cheapass Games in 2017, save a change in branding and a few edits to the rulebook.
You can print the game entirely yourself, or you can buy the deck from DriveThruCards.
