“"Dice Tower Seal of Approval! If you've never heard of [High Society] it's time to discover this game.... High Society in this new printing is excellent. I would say go out and grab yourself a copy." - The Dice Tower "This game probably elicits the most laughter of any auction game I've ever played." - Drive-Thru Review ". . . the artwork is phenomenal!" - Board Games & Beyond "There's something special about these moments when I get to say this to you, so let me just rejoice in it for a little minute--High Society is really, really good!" - NoPunIncluded "Such a tight, brilliant, short, auction card game. I used to have the previous version and now Osprey have brought it back, they haven't changed any of the rules, but they've delivered this amazing artwork in this lovely small box, and for me it's just a quintessential travel game." - Actualol "I love this one, It's a lot of fun." - Ding & Dent "I really enjoy [High Society], especially for something so simple." - Rolling Dice & Taking Names "High Society's primary achievement is in conveying thematic weight that outstrips its size. This is a thoughtful design shaped with a sense of purpose, and in many respects it's one of the best examples of a game being more than a game." - Player Elimination "...a tense game with interesting decisions. It's easy to learn, easy to teach...it's portable and has good artwork." - Bower's Game Corner”
