High Society
In Reiner Knizia's High Society, players bid against each other to acquire the various trappings of wealth (positive-number and multiplier cards) while avoiding its pitfalls (negative number and divisor cards). While bidding, though, keep an eye on your remaining cash - at the end of the game, even though all those positive-number cards might add up to a win, the player with the least money isn't even considered for victory.

A pure bidding game with some evil touch. It is fast to play, and elements are quite nice. UPDATE: (7.5 to 9) After many years, I try the new Osprey edition. Such beautiful cards certainly enhance the playing experience but... the point is that the game is actually pure genius. Having played a lot of different games in my life, I now appreciate a lot this kind of games where so much fun and enjoyment is condensed with so simple rules. The way the money is used, the fact that the person with less money is inmediately eliminated, and the unknown real momento of the end of the game turn a sim

Muy top. Con cuatro cosas, crea un juegazo. La tensión que se va acumulando con forme salen cartas azules, como vas manejando tu dinero, la eliminación del jugador que más gasta... Filler masterpiece!
Es un filler de tres a cinco jugadores, de subastas. Cada jugador tiene un set de cartas valoradas en distintas cantidades. Se van subastando una serie de cartas con puntos (del 1 al 10) y algunas que son especiales (una que anula una carta, una de -5 puntos, dos que multiplican los puntos por dos y una que divide por dos). Las cartas negativas se las lleva el que menos puja. Al final de la partida, el jugador con menos dinero en sus manos queda automáticamente eliminado. Entre el resto, el que haya conseguido más puntos es el ganador. Está muy bien pensando el sistema de pujas. Tienes que
