Mega Bucks

The game box contains the game board, a rules leaflet, scrip (of various denominations), a dividend schedule card, 6 player markers, 150 small pawn markers (25 for each player), an economic indicator marker and two dice of contrasting colors. This is an Australian published game based on the Monopoly theme. The board has a circular track with a number of spaces representing Australian & International businesses (of which all contributed to have the game published). A portion of each company may be purchased by players landing on the relevant space (called 'chairs'), to a maximum of three. The cost of 'chairs' are controlled by the current economic climate, which can vary. Cash is received from players landing on businesses owned by other players ('rents'), using a multiplier depending on the number of chairs owned. Other spaces on the board control the economic climate, income & sales tax payments, receiving dividends & buying or selling of new chairs. The game ends after a pre-determined time (90 minutes is suggested in the rules leaflet), at which time the player with the largest net worth wins (consisting of cash on hand plus the current value of chairs).
