Multi Level Mania is a game where you join a multi-level marketing company (totally different from a pyramid scheme, we swear!) and hustle your way to the top by pitching the products or the company to character cards. The goal of the game is to make $10,000 before the Cubicle Troll (an NPC with a regular paycheck) and before all the other players. The game can be played by 2-6 players and takes between 1-2 hours. Each round consists of four phases: the Hustle phase, the Payday phase, the Restock phase, and the Event phase: During the Hustle phase, players choose character cards and roll a die to either try to sell product to that character, or to recruit that character as a downline. During the Payday phase, each player gets paid money according to the number and type of downlines they have - and the Cubicle Troll gets their paycheck. Next comes to Restock phase, when all players must buy at least the minimum required inventory to maintain membership in their chosen MLM - don't worry, you can take out credit cards if you need to! Finally, during the event phase, each player selects an event card that can either help or hurt their chances of success. Then it's time for a new round with another Hustle phase! This game allows for some sabotage of other players by stealing or alienating their downlines, and all players have the opportunity to spend money to make money - just like a real pyramid scheme - I mean, multi-level marketing company! —description from the designer
