How you play Money Maker

Every player is a banker. It is your goal to become the richest banker of them all. You become rich through investing. Luckily, you have an endless supply of credit to invest. But be careful of the turns of fate, a bankrun means all credit is due!

You play like this:

  • Bid against your friends to acquire valuable companies.
  • The highest bidder is allowed to invest in the company using their bank credit.
  • The companies you invest in create products.
  • Sell the products to the markets, to earn money.

But be careful! The more credit is introduced into the economy, the more instable the economy becomes. If you cause a financial panic, you may need bailout...

People who loved creating money

Its one of the best games me and my friends have ever played. You guys re-created "Settlers of Catan" but with a more sophisticated mechanism and dedicated explanation of our monetary system.

Playing the game was an entirely new experience to me. I find the monetary system confusing and cluttered. The game gave me an insight in the mechanics of the monetary system in a fun and joyful way.
Cecilia (27)Chemist
Through this game I finally understood that the system I live in is just a game and the ones brave enough to gamble, will be the ones that win... After playing I see through the banking system.

What's in the box?

The game is made up of:

bank vaults (to your money safe), coins, credit, goods, markets, cards with investment opportunities, "chance" cards, special dice, the game board, manual & lore book.

Game impressions

The board visualises the city of Amsterdam with its canals. The city visualizes the flow of credit through an economy as well as functions as a playful balance sheet.

The canals function credit ratings. Every player starts in the outer ring. When bankers successfully pay off their credit, they upgrade to higher rating levels where they can take larger risks!
