You are a member of the Odds & Sods Club, a group of eccentric billionaires (are there any other kind?) who spend their considerable leisure time at police auctions looking for their favourite Objects.
The lots at police auctions are a mixed bag; each contains some things you like a lot and some things you’d rather not have. Of course, you don’t go to the auctions yourself (people would talk); you send a servant over with instructions to bid so much and not a penny more. And if you lose out to one of your clubmates...well, you’re ashamed to admit it but you might be a bit of a sore loser...
At the end of the year, you want to end up with as much of your favourite stuff as possible. Still, it is important to have a balanced collection, too. Oh, and while you’re at it: try not to spend as much money as the others.
Odd Lots is a self-published game which (I hope) will debut at Origins 2009.
