Atlas Games "Corruption" Demos
in Milwaukee and Madison

ROSEVILLE, MN - Atlas Games is pleased to announce that its president, John 
Nephew, will be demonstrating the brand new card game CORRUPTION at two 
southern Wisconsin game stores the weekend before Christmas.

CORRUPTION is a card game (non-collectable) by Bruno Faidutti, the noted 
French game designer (KNIGHTMARE CHESS, MEURTRE A L'ABBAYE, LA VALLEE DES 
MAMMOUTHS).  Players discreetly fork over bribes to politicians in order to 
land lucrative construction contracts.  If your bribes are sufficient, your 
firm will score the best contracts and your bottom line will swell.  If your 
competitors' lucre shines brighter, though, you've lost opportunities, 
profits, and the satisfaction that some bureaucrat's Caribbean cruise on your 
dime was good for something.  The game is easy to learn, but devious in 
strategy, and features artwork reminiscent of the golden age of capitalist 
corruption.  All this, and it makes a great Christmas stocking stuffer!  The 
game consists of 111 playing cards in a tuckbox (much like Atlas' popular 
game, LUNCH MONEY), and retails for $18.95.
