Boom & Crash Strategy

If you can identify who holds the most wealth during the game, strategically playing a Boom card can work to your advantage. When you play the Boom card, you can challenge the wealthiest player to a game of “Rock, Paper, Scissors.” If you win, you will take their largest asset, increasing your wealth and decreasing theirs. However, if you lose, you must give them your largest asset, reducing your wealth and making them even wealthier.

Similarly, strategically playing a Crash card can also be advantageous if you can discern who holds the most wealth during the game. By choosing the wealthiest player and winning the “Rock, Paper, Scissors” challenge, you give them your largest debt card, increasing your wealth and reducing theirs. However, if you lose, you must take their largest debt card, which reduces your wealth while increasing theirs.

Active Income Strategy

Since active income won’t appreciate beyond its face value by the end of the game, there’s no incentive to hold onto it if you can use it to pay off an expense. Doing so will also help you stay under the eight-card limit.

If you have more than eight cards at the end of your turn, prioritize discarding your active income cards before discarding your passive income or asset cards.

Passive Income Strategy

Keep as many passive income cards as possible until the end of the game, as they will be worth ten times their face value. This could provide the winning advantage you need.

Quick Claim Strategy / Opportunistic Play

When a player discards a combination, the first player to recognize an opportunity can discard an expense on an expense card or a debt on a debt card of equal face value (for example, $10K, $20K, $30K, or $40K), regardless of rank or multiplier.

Additionally, the first player to act can grab a discarded income or asset card of equal face value. This keeps players engaged, encouraging them to watch what others discard to improve their financial situation. While this isn’t how real life works, it adds fun and keeps players alert throughout the game.

Get More “Bang for Your Buck” by Paying Off High-Multiplier Debt

Maximize your advantage by paying off higher multiplier debt cards with lower multiplier asset cards. For example, if you have a -$10K credit debt card with a 4× multiplier, it would be highly advantageous to pair it with a $10K cash asset card that only has a 2× multiplier.

Why? Because if you hold both cards until the end of the game, the cash asset card would be worth $20K ($10K × 2), while the credit debt card would be worth -$40K (-$10K × 4), leaving you with -$20K ($20K - $40K). By discarding the pair during the game, you improve your net worth by $20K.
