The Con Game

Description
The Con Game is a game of game design where players attempt to break into the satirical, cutthroat, and potentially humourous world of game manufacturing.Players design games (by placing a 'game' card on their production track), find distributors, place games in the market, make deals, and attend Conventions.Depending on the quality (High, Average, or Cheesy) of the game and when it hits the market, money is earned... minus any distribution fees, of course. Getting to a Convention (between the Summer and Fall turns) requires a vote... the player with the most money gets two votes, the player with the least money gets no votes at all. A player may only ever bring three games to a single Con. Players start out with anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000 depending on whether they are doing this part-time or not.The first player to reach $100,000 wins. The game may also end after the 20th turn, in which case the player with the greatest net worth is the winner. - BoardGameGeek
