Description
Get ready to become the ultimate Rich Uncle, just like the infamous Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly fame. In this classic 1946 game, 3 to 5 players compete to increase their cash holding by a factor of five, starting with $10K and aiming to reach $50K. The game is simple to learn, with easy-to-explain rules that get you started quickly. Roll the dice and move around the vertical game board, which features 36 different spaces corresponding to possible dice results. Encounter "Consult the Daily Bugle" spaces, which introduce market fluctuations and surprise events, such as the "Christmas Bonus" of $3K. Add to the excitement with humorous newspaper headlines that bring unexpected twists, like forcing players to pay into the pool. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, Rich Uncle is a fun and fast-paced economic game that's perfect for a quick evening with friends.
