Hoity Toity, known in its original German as Adel Verpflichtet, meaning noblesse oblige, is a board game created by designer Klaus Teuber, later famous for Settlers of Catan, in 1990. Two to six players take the roles of wealthy collectors competing to assemble the most valuable set of genuine antiques and curiosities, using auction and bidding mechanics along with the risk of hiring corrupt agents who might turn out to be thieves in disguise. Published in English by Uberplay, the game blends bluffing and negotiation with acquisition strategy rather than relying on dice or chance-driven movement, placing it among the modern hobby-strategy design tradition Teuber helped popularize.
