Serengeti
An auction game where your own cards forbid certain bids and reward rivals when their digits match.
Who it's for
Players who like clever, mathy auction games and enjoy squeezing an edge out of tight constraints.
Not for you if…
You want theme or want to avoid arithmetic; the digit-matching rules are abstract, dry, and demand constant number-tracking that not everyone enjoys.
Vibe's take
A sharp numerical puzzle disguised as an auction, where every bid is constrained and quietly pays someone.

About this game
An auction game with two genuinely clever twists, set around bidding for African art with the local currency Hongo. You may not bid any number whose final digit matches one already on a card you own, and owners of a card sharing that last digit collect a cut of the bid. Constraint and payout make every number a calculation.
