It's time for a wonderful event organised by the ruler of the Great Prairie! Having made many great alliances and strengthened his position, Bison is organising a magnificent ball where he wants to introduce Princess Bison to the world of aristocracy. He invites distinguished guests from all over the world to the ball.
In the course of the game, you play the role of a ball participant and try to buy into the favour of the most noble guests in order to secure favourable contacts. This is achieved by making promises that will win you the favour of the invited guests.
Who will leave the ball in the best company? And who will be the victim of a scandal?
The winner will be the player who makes the most of the situation and acquires the most prestigious contacts without losing his or her fortune. So be clever and use your resources wisely. Don't flaunt your resources, because at the end of the game, the poorest player will be excluded from the cream of the crop and will not be included in the score count.
Test yourself in the best bidding game, loved by players!
