  This game is ideally played by equal or odd numbers of opposite sexes. The game is played on the assumption that each player is the son or daughter of a very wealthy father. He sends them into the game of life with a gift of £10,000 and an allowance of £250 each time a circuit of the board is completed. The winner is the player or marriage partnership, that survives when other players have lost all assets.
An abbreviated version of the game may be played where the first player or marriage partnership, to reach £50,000 in cash and possessions is the winner, or at an agreed time limit. The winner is the player or marriage partnership with the highest value of all assets.
The rules are the same for all versions.
