Publisher: Bright Eyes Games
In Ponzi Scheme you step into the shoes of a slick con artist. You lure investors with promises of huge profits, while secretly using their money to keep a castle in the air standing. Sounds exciting? It is. Every turn you have to pay out more, and that pile of promises only grows taller. The goal is surprisingly simple: make sure you are not the first to go bankrupt. Meanwhile you strike sneaky deals, trade in secret with your fellow players and build the biggest fake empire at the table. The tension rises with every round, because that financial house of cards is always about to collapse. Whoever stays standing the longest and has built up the finest empty holding company wins. This new edition has fresh illustrations and a sleek look. The rules have been made clearer here and there, but the nasty deals have stayed exactly as sneaky as before. For 3 to 5 players aged 12 and up and about an hour and a half of playing each other, bluffing and getting caught. An evening around the table you won't forget quickly.
