Big Shot
Players bid for sets of colored cubes that are auctioned each round and place won cubes into areas on a shared board. Areas lock when they contain seven cubes; majority control determines ownership, but tied majorities are ignored so a lone cube can secure an area in some splits. Players manage a limited cash pool and may take up to three staggered loans for immediate funds, then repay a fixed penalty per loan from their end-game property income. At game end, players total the value of owned areas (with some regional doublers) and subtract loan repayments; highest net total wins.
