Description Edit | History

In Reiner Knizia's High Society, players bid against each other to acquire the various trappings of wealth (positive-number and multiplier cards) while avoiding its pitfalls (negative number and divisor cards). While bidding, though, keep an eye on your remaining cash - at the end of the game, even though all those positive-number cards might add up to a win, the player with the least money isn't even considered for victory.

In 2003 re-published by Überplay.

In 2004 published with a new theme by Amigo as Einfach Tierisch.

In 2006, published by University Games as Animalement Vôtre (French version) and Beestenveiling (Dutch version).

In 2008, re-published by Gryphon Games

This is the back of the cards for the High Society re-theme from kilgore (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/kilgore). (Printer Friendly) Edit: I think I'll split it into 2 different backs. One for the money and another for the auction items... we'll see how it works.
