Welcome to Banana Republic, a politically unstable country dominated by wealthy, well-connected business elites. As one of these elites, you get to influence government policies and manipulate the economy in order to benefit your investments in stocks, properties, and bonds. Outsmart your opponents by hiring powerful bankers and politicians while defending your wealth against financial monsters such as Debtzilla and Inflationsaurus. Do you have what it takes to survive in this competitive world of money mania? The second edition of Wongamania: Banana Economy includes a new open card-drafting mechanism, updates to various card powers, a new educational guide, a overhaul of the graphic design, rulebook and economic cycle board. A new Debtzilla meeple is introduced and the banana die has been restored to its rightful yellow, instead of the previous blue. The game also lowers the age requirements to 10+ and a limited edition in dual English/Chinese languages. —description from the designer
