Never watched the TV show, but I got this simply because the description intrigued me. My wife and I tried it the first time with our friends, where one quick game turned into six... it's actually a lot more fun then we were expecting. You play with game pieces that include handguns and stacks of cash, where the object of the game is to exploit and fight other players in the game. The rules of the game are a bit complex, as we played the first two rounds with the institutions in hand to get everything right, but you only play six rounds and the game is over pretty quickly (45 minutes to an hour).
