Money! is a clean and clever auction and set collection game by Allplay, designed by the legendary Dr. Reiner Knizia. Players compete to collect the most valuable currency sets in a fast-paced and ever-shifting economy.
How do you play?
Each round, players secretly bid using currency cards from their hand, aiming to win cards from the center. Once won, these cards form sets. Sets worth 200 or more score their full value; those between 110–190 lose 100 points; anything under 100 scores nothing. Timing and reading your opponents are key to coming out ahead.
Why is this game recommended?
Money! offers a compelling mix of bluff, risk, and set strategy—all in under 15 minutes. The shifting market and fast bidding rounds keep the tension high. With its compact box, streamlined rules, and dynamic gameplay, it's a perfect filler with strategic bite.
