About this game
Bid on luxury goods to flaunt your wealth, but the player with the least cash at game end is automatically eliminated regardless of their collection. Knizia at his sharpest: the entire game is a series of agonizing auction decisions using a fixed hand of money cards you can never get change for. Negative cards force you to bid to avoid them. Every auction reshapes the table dynamics. Plays in 20 minutes, fits in a pocket, and delivers more tension than games ten times its size.
