PLAYED FOR YOU

Ohne Moos nix los!

Manage your money for a month

A game about income and costs! You start with a savings account and 1.55 € starting capital, all players agree on the number of months that will be played. The active player rolls the die, moves his marker and resolves the case he reaches, On a “Post” case you draw the indicated number of cards and set them aside until “Kassensturz”. On the “Kaufen” case you draw a card, can pay the indicated amount and keep the card, or you can discard it. If you want to buy and do not have enough money, you can get money from your savings account or take out a loan; when you access your savings account you pay 150 € fee to the bank. On the “Verkaufen” case you can sell things you bought earlier in the game, all players roll for the commission on the sale. “Was steht an?” triggers an event, on cases Lottery, Happy Birthday, Radrennen, Extra-Moos etc. you can receive money or lose money. On the “Kassensturz” case you must make a mandatory stop, receive 1.500 € from the bank and interest for your savings. Then you pay interest on your loans, if necessary, and can pay back loans, if you want. Then you read your mail and pay bills from it, and put your marker back to start. When, after the agreed number of months, all players have resolved “Kassensturz”, all add up their assets from cash and savings and deduct loans. If you now have most money or the fewest debts, you win.

A classic game is back, which made its first appearance in the 70ties of the last century, even then the game was rather chance driven, but buy/sell options and savings account/loans introduce a bit of tactic. Still a very nice family game for beginners.
