Last Will

Players inherit a fortune and compete to spend it fastest so they will receive the remainder of the estate. Each round, players choose a plan that sets how many cards they draw, how many errand boys they can use, their action count and turn order. On their turns, players use errand boys to take cards, draw from decks, visit pricey venues, adjust the property market, or expand their player board. Cards include properties, companions, events, helpers and recurring expenses; playing them and activating abilities costs money and often requires matching companions or modifiers to increase expenses. Properties can depreciate and selling them returns cash, so players juggle purchases, market manipulation and recurring costs to run out of money first. The game ends on bankruptcy or after seven rounds; the player with the least money wins.
