Pecunia non olet: Geld stinkt nicht

About this board game

Pecunia non olet: Geld stinkt nicht is a card game for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 40 minutes. Set in ancient Rome, it casts each player as the owner of three rental toilets, serving Romans with an urgent need.

Your customers are not all alike. Women can share a place, while senators refuse to sit next to slaves. Citizens also visit your facilities, creating a varied set of Romans to accommodate.

Every Roman customer has a specific amount of time they need and a sum of money they will pay afterward. The challenge is to manage your available toilets and customers while working toward the fortune required to win. That target depends on the number of players in the game.

• For 2–4 players
• Approximately 40 minutes per game
• Three toilets for each rental-toilet owner
• Roman customer cards featuring women, senators, citizens, and other distinctions

The game includes 70 Roman customer cards and 40 action cards, along with the coins and markers needed for play. Customer timing, payment, and seating restrictions give the Roman setting a memorable twist while keeping the focus on building your fortune.

Reach the required wealth before your rivals and prove that, in Pecunia non olet, even an unpleasant business can become profitable. First released in 2005, this lighthearted Roman card game turns an urgent everyday necessity into a race for riches.
