Overview

From the publisher: Hubris comes before a fall! My house, my yacht, my car - that used to be enough to make an impression. But nowadays, you need more than just one miserable car or one out-of-fashion yacht. No, two would be better or even three... Those who have nothing, can bluff, because the have-nots can also enter the realm of the snobs. You just need to stay cool and be convincing. And so everybody tries to unmask his fellow players as the frauds they are, and use his bluffs to stay undetected.
