The cards are shuffled and placed face down on the table. Each player receives $10.000. The banker receives an additinal $10.000 for its services. Before the game starts a player can buy insurance cards. A insurance card can prevent losses on the board. Every player gets two family cards and places his/her token on the board.

The banker plays first. Each turn the player rolls the dice and moves his/her token along the board. When a player lands on a space, he/she follows the directions on the space. If a player cannot follow the directions, he/she is out of the game. A family tree in this game consists of one female family card and one male family card from the 1600's, 1700's, 1800's and 1900's.
