## Description
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? brings the tension of the iconic TV game show to your tabletop, letting 2‑5 players test their knowledge with multiple‑choice questions that get harder as the game progresses. Each round starts with one player as the "contestant" who can either answer or walk away with the money earned so far. If they dare, they may use one of three makeshift lifelines – 50:50, Ask the Audience, or Phone a Friend – simplified versions that keep the spirit of the original show. After everyone has taken a turn as contestant, the role of host rotates, ensuring each player feels the pressure of being in the spotlight. At the end, the player with the most accumulated cash wins. The game includes a board that mimics the prize ladder, question cards sorted by difficulty, money tokens and lifeline markers. Rules are straightforward, but the strategy lies in knowing how far to push your luck – the core mechanic of the game. Perfect for party nights, friends gatherings or family sessions, the title blends general knowledge, TV nostalgia and that heart‑pounding fear of losing it all. While easy to learn, a full play can run up to 60 minutes, especially if the group likes to debate each answer. If you love trivia and want the adrenaline of a live‑on‑air showdown, this game delivers it without needing a TV.
