Overview

From the review: The game is a two part auction and bluff card game. The components are simply two packs of cards, a gavel, and the rules. One pack of cards comprises twelve sets of four categories of antique properties. There are four antique clocks, four items of antique furniture, etc. Each set has a points value ranging fairly evenly from Furniture at 1000 to Miscellanea at 50. The points decide the winner but otherwise have no direct relationship to monetary value. This game is very close to Kuhhandel.
