…At this topical board game from The Economist. The game takes players on a wild ride through the boom bust economy with all the fun and none of the risks (minus ego bruises) of the real thing. ”The aim is to be the last solvent player.

No word yet if there will be an Bernard Madoff edition in which everybody wins for a while until the board spontaneously combusts and smirks at you while slowly burning away your life savings.
