About the game
A birthday party hosted by the mafia boss was roaring fun until the police knocked at the door. While getting away on his private helicopter, he dropped his precious wallet. Now what will you all do with it? In Wallet, players are the guests rummaging through the wallet looking for an ID (that'll make them seem innocent in the eyes of the law) and some cash (you can't take too much — it will look suspicious!). During your turn, you choose one action: take a card from the wallet, hide a card in the wallet, flip a timer card (bringing the round closer to its end), or buy an ID card. You may also use your special cards to spoil your opponent's play. Strategy, bluff, unexpected events... You need to have a perfect hand as fast as you can — try to be both innocent and rich by the end of the round! Will you be found guilty or manage to escape the hand of justice with the most cash?

Questions and answers
Wallet supports 2–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Wallet is 15–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Wallet for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Wallet has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Wallet belongs to these categories: Card Game, Party Game, and Bluffing. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Open Drafting. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Wallet are: Wilfried Fort and Marie Fort.
