About Young Jacob Marley

Young Jacob Marley is a game of Victorian moneylending. You and your fellow clerks are newly enlisted in the service of the famous Jacob Marley. Your task is to earn the maximum profit by lending Marley's money to the citizens and businesses of London. You hope that by doing so, you might catch young Marley's eye and earn his undying friendship. You have a feeling this might come in handy one day... Young Jacob Marley is a significant retooling of the classic game Jacob Marley, Esquire, which is also a game of cutthroat money lending in Victorian London. Imagine that.
