About the game
Million Dollars, But… The Game (MDB) puts your morals and imagination to the test, posing the question, "What would you do for a million dollars?" Players create scenarios by combining a trigger and a rule card to showcase what they would or wouldn't do for a big hunk of cash. (For example, a million dollars, but… every time you see a store having a sale, you poop your pants a little bit.) The best part of the game occurs when everyone debates the scenarios that have been presented to the judge: "Does it include online store sales or just in-person sales?", or "How much poop are we talking: a rabbit pellet or an uncomfortable amount?"
