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.

- Reglas simples, pero gran complejidad. - Final variable, aporta emoción. - Hermosas ilustraciones. - Puede enfundarse y guardarse en la misma caja. - Manual bien redactado. - Se necesita al menos tres jugadores.

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
