Ca$h Trap

In A Nutshell

Apparently, this game has been in development since 1985, and was launched at Essen this year. Nothing to do with managing your money, the game is all about choosing where to position your pieces - money bags and blockers, and knowing when it's best to play your action cards.

Each player starts with their money bags at one side of the board, and has to get every bag across to the bank, whilst frustrating the opposition. As you actively place the blockers in other people's way, it's a great game for annoying each other and ganging up.

Deal 5 action cards face down to each player, the first player picks up a card from the unused stack, and then decides which card from the 6 in their hand will be used for play. Play your card face up, and make your move. You can place blockers, move your bags, move your opposition or a combination - it depends on the card.

The winner is the first person who get all their bags into their 'Bank' spaces at the other side of the board, and a lot of the fun comes in 'secret' collaboration and general unfairnessl, as to who blocks who.
