Dallas: A Game of the Ewing Family (1980)

About this game

According to Sid Sacksons "A Gamut of Games": Members of the Ewing family amass fortunes by using event cards, by gaining control of corporations, and particularly by being elected president at the family meetings. Votes come from stock holdings, proxies, bargaining, and blackmail.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 7.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
