About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to tear up some real (or almost real!) money in Rip Off! This game offers a unique experience that will test your visual perception and your ability to cut costs. The idea is simple: you have a fake bill and you need to use it to cover the items you want to buy each round. The catch? You have to tear pieces off your own bill to do it! Each piece you cut is a piece less you'll have to cover future expenses. The challenge lies in tearing off a piece of just the right size to cover the desired items, without wasting paper. The more you use now, the less you'll have later. At the end of the game, whoever has the largest remaining piece of the bill is the big winner. It's a fast-paced game, lasting about 15 minutes, perfect for playing with 2 to 6 people, from kids to adults. The paper-tearing mechanic is super novel and leads to plenty of laughs and tense decisions. If you enjoy games with a touch of dexterity that challenge your visual perception in a fun and unexpected way, Rip Off is a sure bet!
