The Ephemerist

For the Christmas issue of the Economist, cartoonist Kal has designed a brand new board game, called Credit Crunch.  The aim of the game is to be the last solvent player. In order to achieve this, players try to eliminate the competition. Risk cards encourage players to pick on each other.

You can also download the board, along with all the pieces you need to play the game at Christmas.
