About the game
In *Millions of Dollars*, every game starts with players splitting into secret roles such as the Brain, Driver, or Clumsy Hand, none knowing who holds what. The goal is simple: grab the biggest share of the loot, but the fun lies in negotiation and bluffing. There’s no luck or elimination; everything revolves around temporary alliances and shifting bargains. Players must keep their identities hidden while using the information they gather to persuade others to vote for actions that favor their plan. When the heist occurs, votes decide who gets in and who stays out, and the money is divided so that the most cunning players walk away with the most coins. The hidden‑role mechanic creates constant tension, while voting ensures everyone participates in the final decision, keeping the game balanced. The absence of random elements means strategy and persuasion are the only variables, making each session unique and highly interactive. If you love bluff, negotiation, and role‑playing without the randomness of dice, *Millions of Dollars* will keep you hooked from start to finish.
