Bance!

Description

--- This satirical board game parodies the worst elements of games like Monopoly, featuring torturously complex mechanics. (14 words) Key mechanics include: - *Turn order bidding* Players bid money paid to subsequent players, complicated by restricted denominations hindering exchanges. - *Dice movement strategies* Varied approaches to navigate the board and return to GO! with exactly $200. - *BANCE! action* A SNAP variant allowing money theft when two players land on the same square. - *Deliberate complexity* Designed to be lengthy and frustrating, incorporating roll-and-play and press-your-luck elements. This game, created as a challenge to embody the flaws disparaged by Flip the Table—such as roll-and-play ("Surprise!"), press-your-luck, and especially Monopoly mechanics despite their fondness for it—centers on players bidding for turn order. Payments go to subsequent players, with exchanges impeded by limited denominations. Players then employ diverse dice movement strategies to circumnavigate the board and reach GO! precisely with $200, neither more nor less. Landing on the same space triggers BANCE!, a SNAP-like action for stealing opponents' money. Intentionally overcomplicated, it promises extended playtime, hinging on players grasping its torturous intent. ---
