Description

"You are sorcerous investors, speculating on the fates of various people and places. You might risk your sorcerous gravitas on the Forest and the Huntress, only to lose it all when a bad moon rises in the end. Or you might get a bargain on a Sailor and a Journey, striking it rich when your ship comes in on a favourable wave." An arcane commodity speculation game of bidding and bluffing, where players attempt to purchase the most valuable cards with limited information about what their true worth will be. This information takes the form of cards dealt at the beginning, known only to their owner. The game is played in turns, with each turn an auction. The active player chooses one card to put up for bidding, and the highest bidder pays the bank and takes the card. At the end of the game, the hidden cards are revealed and determine the worth of each purchased card, which the bank pays out. The richest player is the winner.
