Aunt Millie left behind a fortune worth millions, and this party game mixes in a little roleplaying to determine who will get the lion's share. Players begin by choosing one of the characters and introducing themselves to the other players -- in character.
A series of Aunt Millie's valuables are revealed, such as a jukebox, vase and toilet. Each player put his marker on one of the items; if two players claim the same item, they take turns trying to convince the judge that they deserve it more -- again, in character.
There are some special touches, such as a vault and reappraisal cards, which add an extra layer of strategy to the game. Aunt Millie's Millions seems like a fun mix of party game, strategy game and light roleplaying.
