QE (Recommended Spiel des Jahres 2023)

Auction game with unlimited money.
It’s 2008, and the economy is crashing. You play as one of the largest nations in the world, and it is your job to save the economy by printing money to bail out companies.

There will be auctions for different companies you can bail out. Each will be worth victory points at the end of the game. And since you are the central bank, you own the money printer and you can bid whatever you want. You literally get dry erase markers and can write down any number for your bid. 99? Fine. 99 Billion? Also fine.

Win companies to get points, but be careful. If you are the country who spends the most during the game, you are eliminated. Make sure you time the wave of inflation just right.
