Things move quickly in this exceptionally fun family card game. Players take turns stacking matching pairs of assets (Jewels, Stocks, Cash Under Mattress . . .) from their hands face up on the table, replenishing their hands from the draw pile as they go. Those stockpiles are vulnerable to having their top asset stolen by any player with a matching card in his or her hand. Attempts to steal often trigger exciting, duel-like interactions in which players flash matching cards (or wild cards) at one another until one of them comes up short. The winners of such duels get to keep not only the top asset but also all the cards that were played during the rapid-fire exchange. Every asset card has a dollar value displayed on it, and once the entire deck has been exhausted, the value of each player's stockpile is tallied. The first player to accumulate a million dollars or more in assets wins. For 4 to 6 players.
