Vibe's take

Tense and mercenary – every bid tells the table something about your plan, and the lot you desperately need is always the one someone reads you on.

About this game

Centuries of shadow war between secret societies end in a single grand auction, where asymmetric factions bid for the world's territories and then put those industries to nefarious work.
