Everything including the kitchen sink... but with special attention paid to board games, Jesus Christ, my family, being a "professional" (and I use that word loosely) Christian, and the random firing of the 10% of the synapses I'm currently using.

I'm guessing that you probably haven't recently trundled down to your local game store thinking, "What I'd really like to find is a game about running a costume jewelry shop." Of course, that didn't stop Uwe Rosenberg from designing just that kind of game - and you, you non-costume-jewelry-loving-gamer, are the richer for it.
You see, Uwe is a genius - he possesses an innate ability to take the whole idea of "card game" and turn it inside out. (No surprise that you'll see Uwe's name on this list a number of times.) Klunker is a trading game with some serious hand management issues... and a whole lot of fun stuffed into a little box.
One warning: the game is pretty unforgiving the first time you play... you need to give it a couple of chances to really get a feel for how the shop window & safe work together to score you some dough/points.
If you're wondering about where the goofy name came from... or if there really is any strategy to this game (there is! there is!), check out my Game Central Station: Klunker article here on aka pastor guy.
