Print & Play (3 to 4 Players)

To Print & Play, you'll need a printer, 9 sheets of paper, and some time to cut out all the cards. You'll also need One Six-Sided Die; Money Tokens (about 20 per player) and Assurance Tokens (about 10 per player), using another game's pieces, coins, monopoly money, poker chips, Legos, or candy. (Or click here to download and print Money and Assurance Tokens.)

Known Elements Needing Further Analysis

  • Player count effect on the number of Assurance Tokens gained. Is the game weighted towards a certain number of players?
  • Optimal (or suboptimal) Life Card combinations. What are the best (or worst) Life Cards to use for different types of game dynamics and number of players? (For example, what Life Cards—when used together—encourage wealth building, cutthroat competition, friendly play, or drastic events? Or what Life Card combinations do not work well together?)
  • Game-breaking strategies. Are there any strategies which always create predictable outcomes or ruin the game for other players? (For example, maybe always discarding Documents and Connections instead of buying them always gets you more Assurance Tokens than not.)

If you can help analyze any of these game elements, or have any other observations, please share your feedback using the form below, by joining the Discord Server, or by sending an email to [email protected] (you can include your name or alias if you want to be pubibly credited with helping develop the game). Thank you!
