Make up messages to fit your family. We add 2 or 3 envelopes with the same message – depends on the number of guests you have. The more rounds you play – the more fun!

If Money ‘Game’ Envelopes are picked during the FIRST round or before players have money, we typically put them back and pick again. IOUs & loans are permitted!!

Make up rules and messages to fit your family - ENJOY!!
