QE review

QE is a unique and fun bidding game that I was surprised to find wasn't more well-known. The concept is simple - you're a central bank trying to bail out companies during a financial crisis by bidding on them. The catch? You have unlimited money, but the player who spends the most loses! It's a great twist that adds a layer of strategy and makes for some interesting decisions.

The game is easy to learn and quick to play, making it perfect for a casual game night. The dry erase boards are well-designed and informative, and the gameplay is filled with tension and laughter as players try to outbid each other. I especially love the social aspect of the game - the bidding process creates a lot of opportunities for friendly competition and banter.

However, I did have some minor issues with the game. The dry erase markers that came with it were completely dry when I opened the box, which was a bit disappointing. This is a common complaint, as many reviewers have mentioned this issue. It's a shame, as the markers are essential for gameplay. Luckily, I had some extra dry erase markers on hand, but it's something to be aware of before purchasing.

Overall, I highly recommend QE. It's a fun, strategic game that's perfect for anyone who enjoys bidding games or a good dose of economic chaos. Just make sure you have some dry erase markers ready!
