Last Will is a humorous and strategically rich board game that turns the usual economic game formula on its head by making spending money the path to victory rather than accumulating it.
Set in Victorian England, the story revolves around a wealthy uncle who, on the verge of death, decides to leave his fortune to the relative who can prove they know how to enjoy life the most—in other words, the one who can spend their inheritance the fastest. Players find themselves competing in a race toward bankruptcy, which ultimately leads to wealth!
Players use cards representing events, assistants, properties, and companions to get rid of their money as quickly as possible. Choosing a daily plan determines the number of actions and opportunities available each round. Players can purchase properties and then deliberately neglect them, causing their value to decline before selling them for a fraction of the original cost. Every round requires strategic decisions about how much time and how many opportunities a player will devote to extravagant spending.
The game cleverly combines resource management with an unusual objective, creating a fresh and entertaining experience filled with difficult choices and amusing situations. Rather than building an empire, players must figure out the most efficient ways to waste their fortune, making every decision both strategic and delightfully absurd.
If you enjoy a mix of strategy, humor, and unconventional goals, Last Will is an excellent addition to your board game collection. 💸🎩🕰️
