About Maloney's Inheritance
Players are traveling from city-to-city with a single car. All players have a goal to reach a different city at a certain time in order to maximize points. As each player has a different set of goals, some players will benefit while others will lose out. On each turn, the control of the car will be auctioned. After the auction round, the winner pays the bank and chooses the destination for the car. Upon arrival at a city, the driver receives that city's suitcase. This suitcase can indicate that the driver receives up to five points or $1,500. It may also say that he loses up to three points or $1,000. Additionally, upon arriving in a city, players may play action cards that correspond to the city. Points are awarded depending on the day of the week of the arrival. Tuesdays and Fridays you receive double points. The game ends either when a player has received 69 points or when a player is out of action cards. Each player can then buy additional points for $1,000 each. ____________________ In 1997 Ravensburger again published a newly revised and re-themed version of the game as Shanghai.
