- Lost In the Sauce is a game about spending as much money as possible and having less than every other opponent at the end of the game. Each player receives an equivalent amount of money at the start of the game, and from that point the rules are as follows:
-Each player may draw one card per turn. They do not have to play it, but can play up to two per turn.
– Each card played will contain a transaction. Some are purchases, some are trades. Purchase cards will spend some of the player’s money and will be turned over to represent an item of value. Trade cards will give money to other players in exchange for one of their items. The catch is that each item has a value, and that value will contribute to the total amount of money that a player has at the end of the game. The game ends when the deck has been completely exhausted.
– There are items with negative value, and some with positive. A player’s total value at the end of the game is a sum of their remaining money and the value of all their items.
-Items may be pawned off to other players, but they cannot be thrown away. - Big Stonky is a game about being horrible at investing in the stock market. Players will start the game with one stock, drawn at random from a pile of stock cards. They also start with 100 stonks (money) to invest in stocks. Each turn, a player selected dealer will flip over two stock cards from the top for each player in the game. They will be able to choose to spend some money to invest in these stocks. Each turn, if another of those stocks is flipped over, and it is purchased by another player, it’s value goes up. Players need money to purchase these stocks, so selling them is the key to getting more, but players win the game by having lost the most money out of anyone else. Stocks will lose value if they are revealed and nobody else buys them, in which case they are sent to the lost pile. If a stock is flipped three times and never bought after the first, all other instances of that stock lose their value completely, so buying your opponent’s stocks is as important as making sure yours aren’t purchased, but you need money to purchase stocks, so you need to make sure some of your stocks ARE purchased.
-players may buy and sell only one stock each per turn.
-the game ends when one player has lost more money than they’ve earned. - Contraband is a game where the goal is to “lose” items so they can’t be discovered by the authorities.
- Lost Realm is a game where players compete to be the last survivor in a forgotten world.
- Unfounded is a game about finding your way back from a world where the laws of physics are very different from our own.

Lost in the Sauce is interesting but will need to be carefully balanced since play continues until all of the cards are used. Check out https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/16396/stock-rush-week-wall-street and https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/99630/rolling-stock
Contraband is also very compelling check out crossing the bridge http://www.fog-site.com/ludoztli/
Frankie – Also refine your two rule sets using the following outline:
What is the objective of the Game
Define the required materials for play
Describe the Setup
what goes where
who goes first
What happens on a players turn
what actions can the player take
what resources do they get and how do they get them
how can other players respond to those actions outside of their own turn
If necessary describe what happen at the end of a turn
Define Winning and or Losing
Outside of setup, turns and winning/losing give us the details on specific cards, token movement, etc. Provide visual examples for clarity.
