Uh-huh. This is cynicism packed in a parlour game and particularly perfect for would-be Montreal scamsters. Think of it as Monopoly for the really greedy and double-dealing.

Surprise! Montreal is actually the setting for this game and was the motivating factor for its creator, David Loach.

Only fitting that there is major construction taking place on St-Denis St. in front of Le Valet d’Coeur, the hobby shop that is one of the prime movers of this bilingual board game and where Loach and a few friends are heavily engaged in a game of Construction & Corruption. Can’t speak for any corruption there at the moment.

And it’s only fitting that Loach is decked out in an orange-and-yellow construction-crew vest and a yellow hard hat.
