Expenses - a great new party game

A great new party game. All present are divided into two groups, players and punters, with many more punters than players. All punters are required to put up a substantial stake.

The punters can then vote which of the players are in and which are out (though this makes little practical difference).

The players convene a secret meeting to agree the rules.

The game is then played. The players appropriate large sums of the punters’ stakes to themselves and if challenged can demonstrate they they have not broken the rules (which they themselves agreed, of course).

NB this is normally more fun for the players than the punters, but that’s life...
