High Society is an elegant card game where players bid against each other to collect luxury, status, and prestige – but must avoid scandals and spending too much money. The goal is to impress the upper class without ruining oneself.

In this classic auction game designed by Reiner Knizia, 3-5 players compete in fast rounds lasting 15-30 minutes. Players bid on exclusive cards representing wealth and status, while negative cards can diminish their value. But be careful – the player with the least money left at the end is automatically out of the running for victory, no matter how impressive their collection.

Key features:

• Elegant card game with auction mechanics
• For 3–5 players
• Playing time approx. 15–30 minutes
• Designed by the renowned game designer Reiner Knizia
• Collect status cards but keep an eye on your money
