Step into the cutthroat world of high-stakes finance with Ponzi Scheme, a thrilling board game inspired by one of history's most infamous financial scams!

In this engaging game, players take on the roles of cunning scammers, luring investors into funding fraudulent ventures with the irresistible promise of sky-high returns. Your mission? Use your trading prowess to sustain your operation for as long as you can while managing escalating payouts that grow steeper with each passing round!

The objective is clear: be the last player standing—don't let bankruptcy take you down! Each turn challenges you to strategize as you draw a new Fund card from the Funding boards, paired with an Industry tile and the cash indicated.

But the stakes rise as you must pay the 'promised reward' associated with each Fund card over several rounds. Throughout the game, utilize 'inside trades' to negotiate with other players—persuade them to buy your coveted Industry at a price they can't resist, or strike a deal to sell your own industry for a handsome profit.

As you navigate this web of deceit, remember to keep your eye on the Time Wheel. Rotate it 1 or 2 spaces at the end of each round and make sure to settle any due payments to the bank.

The excitement ramps up until at least one player finds themselves unable to meet their financial obligations and declares bankruptcy. That player is out of the game, and the remaining fraudster with the most victory points in their Industry claims victory!

If you enjoy strategy, negotiation, and a dash of deception, Ponzi Scheme promises an unforgettable experience filled with twists, turns, and plenty of surprises. Are you ready to outsmart your opponents and emerge as the ultimate con artist?
