High Society

From Board Game Barrage Wiki

A small, older card game by Dr. Reiner Knizia with a few twists. Players bid money cards from their hand to acquire luxuries, but also to avoid faux-pas that will devastate their points. At the end of the game, whoever has the least money remaining is instantly eliminated regardless of points.
