The game for social climbers. The first player to be able to retire on 100,000, wins.

New to this edition;
- playing pieces are now moulded plastic rats, replacing the generic pieces
- cards are now playing card quality and style, replacing the lightweight card dockets
Another example from the same year is probably a trial print run and has cards of lower quality.

Players face the same problems most of us face in day-to-day life but the game lets you see the lighter side of your struggle. Start with 200 units of money and a business. If you succeed, move up in status from working class to middle class to high society and snigger at your opponents left behind!

First launched in 1967 by House of Games Corporation Ltd., Bramalea, Ontario.
