We are not here to make friends!

Status is the name of the game! So we use our capital of 60 Euros to bid for factories and status symbols, to build up an empire and thus collect victory points. To do so we use four kinds of cards, all with a special color and a minimum bidding value, many of the cards also earn you victory points.

Red factories earn you money, the production values and the basic revenues are paid out at the end of the round; you can only own a maximum of 3 factories. Yellow status symbols are the main source for victory points, sometimes in relation to ownership of other cards. Blue influence cards are tied to other players or cards and must be assigned upon winning them in an auction, value and effects are activated upon assignment of the cards. Green action cards can be used immediately when won in a bid or later in the game.

Several rounds consist of four phases each: Fill display with new cards – play action and influence cards – card auction – earn income from the factories. The auction is the heart of the game; if you miscalculate and cannot pay the amount offered you get nothing and lose all your money. And if you are hit by an event- it’s your own fault you could have won the card yourself and played against someone! Oh, and whoever collects 40 victory points first, wins the game.

A great little card game with basically simple mechanisms, all it needs is a little remembering of other people’s money and cards, calculate price and effect for some preventive action and have the right action card at hand when needed – really mean! Really good! Have fun! But do not expect to make friends!
