You are elite collectors trying to win the most pieces at Tony's illicit street sale of 1960's objet's d'art.
Buy as many items as you can without spending the most money, as the police could be here any minute.
A 9-card auction-style microgame.
Remove one card without looking at it. Write down and enter sealed bids on each subsequent card as it is turned over. The highest bid wins the card. There is no limit to what you can bid, but if the police card is turned, then whoever has paid most is eliminated. After that the winner of the most cards wins with the value of those cards serving as a tie breaker.
