MAKE-A-MILLION
"I did not expect to like CASH as much as I did, but for me it easily ascends into the top 10 card games of the last 5 years. CASH stands out with its unique game play and buckets of replay value. If you don’t know anything about CASH, it’s basically about playing a ruthless tycoon set to accumulate the most capital. Creator Emilio van Doorn absolutley captured the essence of what it is to be a ruthless magnate in a world set to destroy your ambition. CASH is actually more than an economic game, and that is what makes it so special. I could play this game over and over."
Have you seen the new packaging which are now on offer? CASH from only $75.00 a set. The new Green Box edition is a favourite with the rule book included in the box.
CASH is the name of this new sensational game that has raised Manhattan's penthouse rooftops and taken Wall Street by storm. This year's overwhelming sensation in games. Primarily a game of barter, much of the fun is in trading and forging shrewd bargains. There are sufficient cards for up to eight players to wheel and deal their way to a million.
CASH is a fun strategy card game that is both easy to learn, has solid mechanics and has an unlimited combination of plays which ensure no two games will ever be the same. We were attracted to this game because of the theme (money). CASH has some of the best production values we have seen, particulalrly from a first-time creator.
CASH is the ultimate mashup of greed, risk and strategic manipulation we have ever seen. Played right, this game has the potential to outshine some of the more commercialised games (including card games) already in the public domain.
Sure, the classic board games like Monopoly, Risk and Stratego are still great fun but when all is said and done, and the history books are written, CASH would have to rank in the first 25 best tabletop games in history.
In this cut-throat setting of high flying magnates, you and up to seven friends play as competitors to a million dollars. As each player takes their turn they are faced with a mirriad of choices and decisions. Too soft and you’ll get buried by your competition, too hard and your opponents will team up against you.
It is the ultimate game in diplomacy, greed, negotiation and ultimately treatrechy towards your friends. Don’t trust anyone. The best you can hope for is that you can trust yourself to get the job done.
First off-the-bat, this is not Monopoly. They share a similar genre but the similarities really end there and that’s OK because CASH: The Card Game is a great time on its own. The game is easy to teach and financial in nature as you, the future tycoons about to inherit the earth, prepare to do battle in the pits of greed and cut-throat commerce. But you have to keep your guard up because there is likely a traitor or two in your midst and they will sabotage your efforts to keep your CASH safe. If you like playing mind numbing repetitive games with a group of good friends who don’t take their games too seriously, then this game may not fit the bill. Every time I’ve played it, the outcome has mostly been different with a barrage of “what the …!” and “OMG’s”’ always surfacing at some point. Each game, depending on how the group co-operates, or sabotage each other, dictates your success or failure. There are even elements in the game where ruthlessness is rewarded and promises are encouraged to be broken. But do not despair, that just adds to the fun of the game. Its short (about 30-40 minutes per play depending on your group), thematic (who doesn’t like being a business Moghul or tycoon?) and fun and if you’re looking for a good casual game or something to play with friends who appreciate some home grown strategy, CASH: The Card Game is a great choice to bring to the table!
