About the Game

The Take is about crooked cops taking money. It is played over the course of several rounds. Each round, each player takes a bill(card) worth between 1 and 5 thousand dollars. In the second half of the game each player gets an opportunity to take an action after all players have taken their money for the round.

There are three ways to win the game:

If the deck of cards runs out, the player with the most money wins at the end of the final round. If a player correctly accuses a player of having the most money,the accuser immediately wins. If a player correctly accuses another player of having the least money, the player with the most money wins.

There are 4 basic actions that players can take by spending money from their hand.

Stakeout: Adjust turn order. Audit: Look at another player's cards. Accuse: Accuse a player of having the most or least money. Defame: Block a player from taking an action.
