Who it's for

Players who enjoy quick, clever bluffing auctions with hidden goals and elegant, easy-flowing turns.

Not for you if…

You want depth, theme or long strategic arcs. It is short and light, and reading a table cold takes a couple of plays to click; copies are scarce.

Vibe's take

Tense and second-guessing, all about hiding your target color and timing your pass to scoop stones or hold on for the cards.

About this game

A slick little auction game inspired by the painted caves of Lascaux, using the same clever bidding mechanism as No Thanks. You secretly pick a cave-painting color you hope to win, then place stones to bid, but passing means scooping up the pot and dropping in the pecking order. The last two players in claim the cards.
