Based on the textbook example of financial scams, "Ponzi Scheme" is the term used to describe the technique Charles Ponzi employed in 1919 to operate one of the most notorious financial frauds in history.
In the game Ponzi Scheme, players are scammers trying to trick investors into funding fraudulent investments with the promise of extremely high returns. You need elaborate trading skills to keep your operation afloat as long as possible, and as time goes on the dividends you need to pay every turn will only pile higher and higher! But when someone declares bankruptcy, the remaining fraudster who forged the biggest shell corporation wins the game!
The goal of the game is simple: Don't be the first player to go bankrupt!
In more detail, on each turn, players must take one new Fund card from the Funding boards along with a corresponding Industry tile and cash as indicated on the card. You need to pay the "promised reward" of each Fund card in a number of rounds.
After all players have taken their Fund cards, they may choose to initiate an "inside trade" with one other player in order to buy the Industry you want with a price they can't refuse, or sell your own Industry to them with a good price.
At the end of the round, players rotate their Time Wheel 1 or 2 spaces, and pay the "promised reward" to the bank if any Fund card is due.
The game continues until at least one player cannot pay the "promised reward" due and goes bankrupt. That player is out of the game, and the remaining player who has the most VP on their Industry wins.

Fathom is a tile-laying, pattern-building game of deep-sea exploration in which you take on the role of marine biology teams competing to uncover the secrets of an uncharted, underwater ecosystem around a fictional island. The depths are vast and time is limited, so savvy decision-making under pressure is crucial to a successful expedition. Choose wisely which creatures to investigate as those you don't pursue may be discovered by your opponents.
Over six rounds of simultaneous play, guide your team's boat and submersible across the ocean. Scan the unmapped depths, and place tiles representing signs of marine life. Descend into the darkness and reveal these tiles to discover remarkable creatures.
At game's end, you gain points based on the scoring criteria of species you've discovered. Some thrive in a homogenous environment; others fare better surrounded by diversity. The solitary life may suit certain creatures, but straying from the safety of a group spells disaster for others.
Discover the most synergistic ecosystem to win!

Do you understand what the cat wants? Try to get as close to the cat as possible without passing it by.Each round in Cat Between Us, you first draw a card from the deck, then place the cat token on the numbered space on the track matching the tiny number on the card. Shuffle the deck, then deal all players their current hand size.Starting with the player who won the previous round, players take turns playing one card at a time under the six items laid out on the table until each item has two cards below it. The sum of these two cards is the value of this item. Each player sums the value of each item remaining in their hand to determine where they should place their token on the track. Whoever is closest to the cat without passing it has won the round; multiple winners are possible. (If all players have passed the cat, whoever passed it least wins.)Winners move their personal token forward on their playing card, which indicates how many rounds they have won and how many cards they receive. Each time you win, you start the round with one more card in hand, making your next victory harder! Whoever first wins three rounds wins the game.Components 42 Lure Cards 6 Toy Cards (six toy suits) 4 Room Cards 1 Player Aid Card & Round Tracker 1 Cat Token 12 Wooden Player Markers (2 per player color) Rule BookTime to play: 20-30 minutesPlayers: 2-6Ages: 8+
