What is The Rich and the Good

Players are stock brokers during the second Industrial Revolution, trying to make as much money as possible while also coming across as good citizens by donating money to charity. During the course of the game, players purchase or sell shares of stock, and then manipulate the stock prices with the cards that they share with their two neighbors. Additionally, players donate stock to charities, which is sold off at the end of the round for the charitable donation. Whoever donates the least to charity by the end of the game automatically lose, no matter how wealthy he’s made himself.

The game uses a system of shared information where each player knows a little of what is about to happen in the markets, with each player knowing different pieces of information. The player who makes the most money at the end of the game is the winner, provided that he or she is not the person who donated the least to charity.

Interesante juego de compraventa de títulos y de manipulación del mercado. Contiene una mecánica especial por la que los jugadores sólo disponen de una parte de la información del mercado y tendrán que hacer uso de su intuición para tener una perspectiva global Interesting stock market game. A special mechanic allows players to have visibility over a fraction of the market. Players will have to be keen in order to get the global idea of the market.

Con unas sencaciones parecidas al modern Art: compra venta de algo, influencia en el mercado. Hab & Gut no tiene tanta influencia de la suerte, almenos no se la he visto por ahora.
