Overview
Central Market is a strategic bidding game with a twist; instead of raising their bids, players try to lower them – but only to a certain level. Players receive cards that depict various kinds of vegetables, which players may then try to sell. The selling is tricky as you must set a selling price for the items – and while naturally you want the price as high as possible, other players can offer lower prices. The number of products that can be sold each round is limited, so only the players who set the lowest prices will be able to sell something and (maybe) earn a profit. Each player holds several action cards that can be used during the game to influence your chances of selling products or ruin the selling by other players. At the end of each round, any profit earned is transferred into victory points, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
