The Mad Magazine Game

Players start with a fixed bankroll and move around a Monopoly-like board along multiple tracks, taking turns rolling dice (left hand only). Landing on spaces or drawing cards triggers money transfers, forced payments, payouts, seat-swapping, directional moves or exchanges with other players. Play proceeds counter-clockwise and uses both outer and inner tracks as movement options. The objective is to be the first player to reduce one’s cash to zero; the game revolves around manipulating income and expenses to reach that state before others.
