GAME OBJECTIVE

The object of the game is a race to acquire three (3) of the five (5) Gold Status Symbols to determine who will become "The Ultimate Status Champion".

The decision as to which Gold Status Symbols you acquire depends on your strategy to try and win the game against the other players, although it is compulsory for every player to acquire the "House" as one (1) of the three (3) Gold Status Symbol Cards required to win the game. Each player starts the game with a mortgage (debt) that must be cleared before the game can be won. That is why the "House" is a compulsory acquisition.

Each player must collect sufficient credits to enable the purchase of silver status symbol cards as shown on the game board, to increase their wealth and status.

Each Gold Status Symbol card has four (4) silver status symbol cards that must be purchased before the Gold Status Symbol Card can be issued. All Silver and Gold Status Symbol cards are color coded for easy playing reference (Red, Green, Purple, Blue, White).
