在遊戲中玩家扮演金融騙徒，經營空殼公司向大眾募資，還必須支付高額的利息，而債務像雪球一樣越滾越大…
當付不出利息，破產玩家就輸了！要贏得遊戲，全看你算計對手心理的能力和虛張聲勢的技巧。
誰能在生死一瞬的壓力下壯大，才能角逐最後的贏家。
Based on the textbook example of financial scams, “Ponzi Scheme” is the term used to describe the technique Charles Ponzi employed in 1919 to operate one of the most notorious financial frauds in history.
In the game Ponzi Scheme, players are scammers trying to trick investors into funding fraudulent investments with the promise of extremely high returns. You need elaborate trading skills to keep your operation afloat as long as possible, and as time goes on the dividends you need to pay every turn will only pile higher and higher! But when someone declares bankruptcy, the remaining fraudster who forged the biggest shell corporation wins the game!
The goal of the game is simple: Don’t be the first player to go bankrupt!
In more detail, on each turn, players must take one new Fund card from the Funding boards along with a corresponding Industry tile and cash as indicated on the card. You need to pay the “promised reward” of each Fund card in a number of rounds.
After all players have taken their Fund cards, they may choose to initiate an “inside trade” with one other player in order to buy the Industry you want with a price they can’t refuse, or sell your own Industry to them with a good price.
At the end of the round, players rotate their Time Wheel 1 or 2 spaces, and pay the “promised reward” to the bank if any Fund card is due.
The game continues until at least one player cannot pay the “promised reward” due and goes bankrupt. That player is out of the game, and the remaining player who has the most VP on their Industry wins.
