   Kind of interesting, but too intense, may cause argument. Only play with your close friends.

   Master designer Sid Sackson has produced his share of gaming gems over the years, but few as successful as his hit negotiation game, I’m the Boss! Not only is I’m The Boss among the best of Sackson’s own ludology, but it’s widely considered to be one of the all time best free-form negotiation games ever designed. Players try to earn money by making deals that require the collaboration of their opponents, while avoiding the potentially negative impact of action cards or uncooperative players. Are you ready for the fast, furious and incredibly fun negotiation of I’m the Boss!? First published in a German edition in 1994, the same year it received a Spiel des Jahres Recommendation, I’m The Boss received wider distribution with the help of an English edition from Face2Face Games in 2003. Another new edition is scheduled to appear in 2012 with new graphics on the board and cards. The basic concept has players working together and against each other to finalize deals that will earn them profits. This process requires intense negotiation, and that’s what makes this game a negotiation classic. Be aware that the bargaining can have some cut-throat elements, so players shouldn’t take the game too seriously, and this also means that I’m The Boss does require having the right people to be enjoyed. But with the right group – wow – does it ever have the potential to create an incredibly fun experience rarely surpassed! I’m The Boss even works well with non-gamer audiences. Just remember that to be best enjoyed, it is good with 5 players, but best with 6 players. Overall the stellar qualities of I’m The Boss make this a classic Sid Sackson game. Negotiation games don’t get much better than I’m the Boss! If you have five or six players who can handle some free-for-all negotiation without getting hurt feelings and who aren’t afraid to raise their voices and get into spirit of some wild wheeling and dealing, this classic from Sid Sackson will create a rollicking and fun experience like few other games can provide. – EndersGame @ BGG

   This is one of my favorite games of all time. It was out of print for a while so I was thrilled to find that it was available. It can get a little heated, but in my opinion that’s what makes it so much fun as long as your friends can handle it.

   This is one of my favorite games. I love social manipulation games and by far this one is the best. You get to argue with your freinds and make money. It can’t get much better.

   If you want to ruin friendships and have fun doing it, this is the game! Not like Monopoly, it’s way shadier!

   Good quality pieces, simple rules that anyone can learn in the first round.
   Lots of human interaction/bargaining is inherent to this game, which makes it really approachable and fun with people you’re getting to know or want to put into a different and slightly stressful/playful environment.
   Plays best with 6 players, but can work with smaller groups.

   Certainly my favorite go-to game with 6 players, because it’s a new experience each time, even with the same people.

   Excellent Game for Negotiation.

    My wife has been asking for this game for months, so I finally decided to get it for her. I was really disappointed when she opened it and as soon as we had the plastic off we found that the box had been dropped or crushed, it’s dented and has a corner already torn. At first I thought it was pretty of me to write a review about this but then I considered how often I pay over $50 for a board game, almost never. I’m extremely disappointed that my ‘brand new’ board game came with damage that would only normally happen with years of use. I don’t think I’ll be buying from this seller again…

    Aus diesen Gründen liebe ich das Spiel

    + kein klassisches Brettspiel oder Kartenspiel; mal was Anderes
    + jeder kann fast in jeder Runde etwas sagen; niemand fliegt raus
    + kein ewig langes Spiel (allerdings eher 90 als 60min)
    + bis zu 6 Spieler
    + sehr ansprechendes Design (bezogen auf die Gryphon Games Edition)
    + leicht verständlich
    + kein Text auf Karten oder Brett, sodass es in allen Sprachen gespielt werden kann

    Meine einzige Kritik ist, dass es in einem Spiel mit 6 Spielern sein kann, dass ein Spieler lange Zeit warten muss, wenn ihm seine Charakter-Karte geklaut wurde.
    Abgesehen davon aber ein einzigartiges Spiel!

    Hi

    Please be warned this is not the Face 2 Face edition but the Gryphon games edition which has generic (Sid Sacksons image) printed money, no detail/slogans etc on the investor cards. The clan cards are exactly the same as the investor cards so not really clan cards at all just reprints of the investor cards!! The board does not detail which investor needed just has bland initials…….Grrr! Will be sending it back!

    That said if you are not a collector and that sort of thing doesn’t get under your skin then this will be a great purchase as it is a great game just a shame they skimped on the reprint!!
