What is The Money Game
A boxed set of cards used in three games intended to explain, and educate about, monetary and banking systems.
The box contains two sets of cards - one set represents machine parts, the other bank notes - and score sheets.
Both games are based around the premise of an engineer shipwrecked on an island - he has a limited source of gold. The islanders have machine parts from an earlier shipwreck.
In the first game one player represents the engineer and the others the islanders. The engineer wants to buy machine parts (collect complete sets), but the cost of buying parts goes up the more he buys in one go from any one islander. The islanders want to get as much of his money as they can, and one of them can win by 'breaking' the engineers bank by holding more notes than he can cover with his supply of gold.
