GAME INSTRUCTIONS

Object of Game

The ﬁrst player to score one billion dollars wins the game.

Setup

Use only the number of industries to the number of players. For example, if there are

only 5 players, use only the ﬁve highest value asset industry sets Technology, Energy,

Finance, Media, and Entertainment. If there are six players then, six industry sets

should be used and so on up to eight players. The wild cards (Taxman and Billionaire)

are always played. Shufﬂe and deal all of the cards face down to each player. All

players will have 9 cards with two players having 10 cards. The dealer rotates after

each round.

Collecting

Each player should decide silently, which set of cards to collect (this may change during

the game) and then trade surplus cards (ie. cards other than the industry that they

have decided to collect).

Trading

The Dealer declares “Ready, Set, Swap” and trading commences. All players trade at

the same time. Players trade surplus cards by holding the cards face down on the table

shouting the number of cards they wish to exchange but THEY MUST ONLY TRADE

CARDS OF THE SAME TYPE. Example: 2 Energy, 4 Technology, etc. The Taxman and

Billionaire cards can be included as one of the cards in ANY group. Any number of

cards from one upwards can be traded at any one time provided they are the same

type or include wild cards. An exchange takes place when two players both declare

equal number of cards to trade (ie. “two”, “two”). Trading MUST then take place. The

faster you trade, the faster you win.

Ages: 6+

Players: 3-8
