Players move their tokens around the board, buying or trading Media Markt properties and developing them with houses and hotels. Landing opponents pay rent, and owning full sets increases income. The goal is to bankrupt others by smart property management and negotiation. It combines Player Elimination, Trading, and Stock Holding mechanics within a classic roll-and-move structure.
Who Is This Game For?
This is a medium-complexity game for 2 to 6 players aged 8 and up who enjoy economic strategy with player interaction. The estimated duration of 100 minutes makes it suitable for extended game nights. Prior experience with Monopoly-like games is helpful but not required.
How It Works
Players roll dice to move around the board (Roll / Spin and Move), collecting sets of properties (Set Collection). Trading allows ownership changes to form monopolies. Owning multiple properties increases rent income (Stock Holding). Players are eliminated when bankrupt (Player Elimination). The game ends when only one player remains.
