About this board game
Get Rich Quick is a simultaneous action-selection board game for 3–5 players, lasting about 40 minutes. Players race to accumulate 25 fortune points while competing to outsmart one another with carefully chosen actions.
Each turn, every player selects three action cards from their hand and places them face down. Once everyone has chosen, all three cards are revealed simultaneously. The cards are then resolved in order according to their values, from 1 to 7, before players take their action cards back and begin a new turn.
Your choices represent different paths toward fortune. You might risk your money by investing in penny stocks, launch a Silicon Valley start-up, or go to work to secure your next paycheck. The game challenges you to choose tactics that help you advance while responding to the plans of the players around you.
One action card, the shopping card, lets you spend money on special upgrades from the Summit Shopping Center board. These upgrades are available in limited quantities and can help you pursue victory in multiple ways, making the timing of your purchases an important part of your strategy.
