At a recent board game day at the library, I was left as the odd man out. That did not bother me. I was happy to see so many people playing games. A fellow game nerd has his bag of games there. He said I could have a look, so I did. He had For Sale, a game that has been mentioned by a few guests and has come up in a few books. I sat down with it, opened the box, and was immediately distracted by the insert advertising the Bookshelf Series. Now, this was an old advertisement. It only listed games one through ten or twelve. There are now twenty-nine.
Anyway, I had heard of a few of these games, and recognized a few of the designers. Reiner Knizia had a few games in this collection, and I was curious how much they would be. Being in a library, I just walked next door to the computer lab to take a look. I bought three of his games: Gem Dealer, High Society, and Looting London. I got all three, shipped, for under $40.
What started off as learning a game that I wanted to play turned into a purchase of three games, and an episode about Reiner Knizia’s High Society.
In High Society, you and your coworkers are wealthy influencers in the 19th century. You are trying to bid for luxury items and multipliers of your wealth while avoiding misfortune. While you amass your luxurious possessions, it is imperative to keep an eye on your fortune. While the player with the most luxurious collection wins, that player must NOT have the lowest fortune left in hand. In other words, can you balance your wealth and opulence better than your coworkers, and be part of the High Society?
