Byzanz
Bid for goods with the same cards that score, then sell sets of three for profit.
Who it's for
Groups who love auction games and the agony of spending the very cards that would score.
Not for you if…
You dislike auctions or prefer building your own thing without haggling over every lot.
Vibe's take
Fast, tense auctioning where spending to win always costs you points later, best with a full, chatty table.

About this game
You're a merchant in old Byzantium, bidding at market for lots of goods and collecting matching sets of three to sell for profit. The cards double as both bidding currency and scoring value, so every auction is a squeeze between spending now and cashing in later. A brisk, tense little set-collection game.
