Each suit has a different strength. Each card in a suit has a name or design, and a number showing its strength within its own suit. The five suits are divided into two cooperating sets. One cooperating set consists of the suits Scientist, Idealist, Judge; the other consists of the suits Banker, Advertiser. Instructions: Privilege combines the excitement of finance-monoply with the diplomacy of contract, and is, in addition, an entirely new deal... in which the struggle for power takes place between dynamic social forces. The cards are people (or symbols) such as "banker," "idealist," etc., which you manipulate to plan your own society, realistically. With luck and bluff and strategy, you will win privileges and security. Or if you lose--someone else wins double! Registered and copyrighted in Great Britain and Denmark.
