Description

Let's win a stick with a 5 mm difference! Join the auction as a stick collector! Bid for a worthwhile stick with only a 5mm difference.

Players compete for sticks that are put on the table one by one. The more sticks you collect with a 5mm difference in length, the more you score, but don't get their size to close to them during a competition because you can't measure them except by your eye. While consulting with your money, consider carefully and decide whether to participate in the competition or pass. If someone runs out of money or someone competes for 8, it adds points to the score at the end of the game, but if a player can align 4 of the same length in the middle of the game, they can win immediately. It is a unique competition game where overconfidence and disappointment in eye measurement are fun.

スティックコレクターとしてオークションに参加しよう!
価値ある5mm違いのスティックを見た目で落札するのです。

プレイヤーは、一本ずつテーブルに出されるスティックを競り落としていきます。
長さが5mm違いのスティックを集めるほど得点になっていきますが、競りの最中はスティックに近づいてはいけません。所持金と相談しながら、じっくり見つめて競りに参加するかパスするか決断してください。
参加者の視線を浴びながら、競り落としたスティックを手中に収めるたび、答え合わせで盛り上がります。
誰かの所持金がなくなるか、誰かが8本競り落としたらゲーム終了で得点計算ですが、もしゲーム途中で同じ長さを4本揃えることができたら即勝利というオプションがあります。
目測への過信と失望が楽しい異色の競りゲームです。
