Description

Auction House is a game for 2-6 players played over 2-3 turns where 6 lots are bid for each turn. For each lot players submit a secret value token that collectively equals the value for that lot. Players then bid in turn until all but one player have passed. The value is then revealed. If the value is greater than the bid, the winner moves the difference forward on the track. If the value is less he moves back. The winner collects the item token.

After six lots have been auctioned a new turn is commenced with players taking back their value tokens and lots returned for new bids. At the end of the agreed number of turns, the player furthest in profit wins.

The game is hand made from wood and comes in its own self contained hinged box with the board carved onto the lid.
