You are a financial athlete, but do you have the skills needed to beat your friends (or enemies) from around the world at this classic economic conundrum? You have to play to win, because we all know that winning is everything. Get the money, but don't get got.
Race for the Money gives you a fun, social way to play out a Dollar Auction. The atmosphere is game show, but matter at hand is not trivial. The rules here are the rules for survival of the fittest: everyone participating feels the struggle, the loser sacrifices everything for naught, and the winner victoriously takes the prize. Sounds easy, right? Play the game.
BONUS: All accounts are now interest bearing! Play it smart and you'll never have to purchase additional funding, even if you keep losing. Just don't go bankrupt (always good advice)!
Race for the Money is not a game of chance. Money spent playing may even be considered an educational expense! This is not sponsored by Apple. Laws of thermodynamics may apply.

"Money won is twice as sweet as money earned." -- Paul Newman

Harsh But Fair
It has a rather odd interface for a game, but I suppose games like Roulette and Blackjack would be considered odd, too, if we weren't all so familiar with the wheel/ball and deck/cards respectively. It has potential, though. Works as promised, but really needs more players to reach its full potential. I'd like to see an iPad version with a bigger race track.
