To those of you who already know the popular
Thames T.V. series, the character, language and
habits of those people in "Minder" will need no in-
troduction. For the rest of us this booklet will try to
explain a little about the world we are about to enter.
The real skills, however, can only be found by play-
ing "Minder" for yourself and learning as you go.

The game is about trading: the buying and selling
of any goods, however suspect or strange, in order
to make a profit for our hero, Arthur Daley.

In Arthur's world a "Minder" is a bodyguard, but
Arthur's lad Terry does a lot more than just protect
him from aggro. He also delivers goods (for which
he has to be paid) and is the carrier of news, good
and bad. Finding Terry can be a problem sometimes,
but it's usually worth the bother.

Stepping into Arthur's shoes, you have 14 days to
make as much money as possible. You start off with
£2000 and a small selection of goods to sell. The way
in which you trade to make the most cash in such a
short time depends on experience, knowledge and
how many risks you're prepared to take.
