Ra
Ra is an auction and set-collection game with an Ancient Egyptian theme. Each turn players are able to purchase lots of tiles with their bidding tiles (suns). Once a player has used up his or her suns, the other players continue until they do likewise, which may set up a situation with a single uncontested player bidding on tiles before the end of the round occurs. Tension builds because the round may end before all players have had a chance to win their three lots for the epoch. The various tiles either give immediate points, prevent negative points for not having certain types at the end of the round (epoch), or give points after the final round. The game lasts for three "epochs" (rounds). The game is easy to learn.

Regalado a Jose
Un juego de subastas muy interesante. Se van colocando losetas en un track. La subasta surge cuando alguien invoca a Ra o cuando sale una loseta determinada. Cuando eso sucede, cada jugador puede hacer SOLO UNA puja por el set completo. Las losetas se puntúan de diversas formas. Hay tres rondas.. y en cada ronda hay losetas que desaparecen.. Otras puntúan cuando acaba la partida. Está muy bien el juego. Para muchos, lo mejor que hizo knizia. Desde luego es un buen juego de subastas.
Posiblemente , de los mejores juegos de subastas que hay.

Juego de subastas. Es interesante su concepto, sí lo jugaría de nuevo.
Es un gran juego, subastas interesantes durante la partida es rápido y no requiere quemar demasiadas neuronas....para una partida de rápida es muy bueno y rejugable, el personal se pica mucho.
Very fast and fun game about bidding
Para mi es el mejor juego cuya mecanica central es la de subastas. El momento en el que queda un único jugador sacando fichas mientras el resto de jugadores corean "RA" es espectacular. Juego sencillo pero que es capaz de transmitir emoción en ese poco tiempo In my opinion, RA is the best game where auction is the central mechanic. It is a simple and short game, but, at the same time, there is emotion on each play. That moment where the last player is taking tiles while the others sing together "RA, RA" is spectacular.
