High Society cover

A new edition of Reiner Knizia's classic auction game, where players must out-bid each other to gain their rightful place within high society.

It’s the turn of the century, and it’s time to live large.

As the quintessential bon vivant you must spare no expense following the latest trend and surrounding yourself with the fineries of life that you justly deserve. Assert your status, impress your peers, and avoid scandal at every turn.

In Reiner Knizia’s classic auction game, players must bid against each other for life’s luxuries, using their vast wealth to acquire symbols of status. But beware over-indulging, for the player at the end of game with the least money cannot possibly be considered a member of high society. This new edition of High Society features 16 stunning Art Nouveau-inspired illustrations by Medusa Dollmaker.

Players: 3-5
Playing Time: 20 minutes
