Uncle Scam has its roots in Monopoly but adds to it the effects of Politics and Bribing. The game is won when the first player goes broke and then the money is counted and the winner is declared the player with the most money. There are Capitol Investments, Rents, Prison, and Bribery but no mortgaging, borrowing, or selling between players allowed. The game is designed and published by William T. Harvey of Carson City, Nevada, USA.
