World Bank: The Game casts players as governments of developing countries. The goal of the game is to acquire resources of various kinds, dealing with debt, foreign aid, multinational cartels and natural events in the process.

While the game involves rolling and moving around a circular board, there are a number of subtleties; players may trade amongst themselves, establish cartels for uncommon resources, and even engage in wars.
