Pari-Manie is basically a gambling game in which you want to become the richest player and ruin every other gambler aroud the table. Simple dice rolling is used to move along a board filled up with mini-games opportunities. Games such as: Poker, Horse racing, Black Jack, dices, Lucky 7...
Every game is played (solitaire) against a designated dealer, The only time you will be able to play against your adversaries is when you venture toward the middle of the board (instead of moving around the board). Then if you happen to stop on the middle space, called "Pari-manie", the fun begins. You will challenge an opponent to play a mini-game with you, the wager will be the total amount ($$$) of the poorest player (of the 2 playing). The player that was selected decides what game will be played from:
Poker
Black Jack
Dices
or a simple "cut a card from the deck".
If the poorest of the 2 players loses, he is eliminated (losing his whole wager). If he wins, he gets to double his money (courtesy of the loser).
