A method of playing an entertainment game includes selecting a lead participant who is required to perform at least one qualifying action in a first level of play. The lead participant is rewarded preferably by a monetary reward upon completion of the requisite number of qualifying actions in the level of play. The lead participant may select an ally from a resource pool to assist in performing the qualifying action. The ally shares with the lead participant in the reward. Preferably there are multiple levels of play with higher degrees of difficulty and with greater rewards.
