Rats! That's what you are. Big, hungry rats. You're all VP's at Rat Financial Incorporated, and you're all striving for a slice of the Big Cheese. The President is retiring next month, and whoever can score the most points with him gets to take his place.
And his Big Cheese.

Game Synopsis: The Big Cheese is a clever little bidding game. Originally released in 1998, it's been redone in the style of our newer Hip Pocket Games, with the same low 1998 price. Players bid on project cards using their underlings' time, trying to score points as quickly as possible. The more people you assign to a project, the longer it takes to finish. Just like in real life! Illustrated by Carol Monahan, designed by James Ernest and Jon Wilkie.

Applause: The Big Cheese was listed in GAMES Magazine's "Games 100" for 2000!
