Artifact Overview
Making the most (play) money is a common goal in many business-oriented games. Parker Brothers' Rich Uncle game requires players to make $50,000 to win. Starting with $10,000, players roll the dice and buy and sell stocks to earn money. Occasionally, Uncle Pennybags (the rich uncle) may dispense more money or he may require players to pay for gifts and expenses.
