    Description

    "You have earned a fortune, and you want to give it away to charity, but you can't help acquiring more money. don't give it all away though, or you are back where you started!"

    Game components: box, board, 1 die, 8 playing pieces, 50 charity cards, 50 income cards, 88 silly cards, 100 quiz cards, play-money

    Simple roll-and-move race game on a 64-space track, which includes a loop in the middle. Players start with $10,000,000 and have to give as much away as possible. The player with the *least* amount of money when one player reaches the finish space wins.

    The main types of spaces are:
    - Charity space: draw a 'charity' card and give away (to the bank) the amount of money indicated.
    - Income space; draw an 'income' card and collect the amount indicated from the bank.
    - Quiz space: answer the charity-related trivia question on a 'quiz' card correctly and move to the next charity space, answer incorrectly and move to the next income space.
    - Silly space: follow the instructions on a 'silly' card correctly (or not) to gain a bonus/penalty.
    Other spaces include Black Hole, Insurance, Miss a turn, Throw again, Move forward, and Go back.

    The game was endorsed by 10 high-profile Australian charities, whose logos feature on the board and box: MS Australia, National Stroke Foundation, Asthma Foundation, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Royal Blind Society, Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, Lifeline, Legacy, Barnardos Australia, and the RSPCA.
    $7.50 from each game sold was given to these charities.
