Buy low, sell high, and manipulate the art market
Vibe's take
Social, calculating, interactive, elegant
Who it's for
Groups of 4-5 who enjoy reading opponents and making bold bids. One of the best auction games ever designed.
Not for you ifβ¦
Not for players who dislike bidding or games with minimal theme. Math-averse players may struggle with valuation.
Reiner Knizia's classic auction game about buying and selling paintings. Five different auction types keep every round fresh as players try to manipulate artist values β buy low when nobody's watching, sell high when the market peaks.
