Juego de cartas, de subastas y hacer colecciones. Se van subastando cartas siguiendo la secuencia 1-2-3. Las cartas son de 6 colores y están numeradas del 1 al 10. Se trata de ir haciendo sets del mismo color (cuantas más tengas más puntos obtendras). Tiene el puntito original de que no puedes hacer subastas que terminen en una cifra de la que tu ya tienes al menos una cuarta. Por ejemplo, si tengo un cuatro, no puedo pujar ni 4, ni 14, etc... eso hace que si tienes muchas cartas tus pujas estén muy condicionadas. El jugador que propone la puja puede decidir si pagar al máximo pujador y quedar

Un juego de subastas con un sistema ingenioso, pero que no me termina de convencer del todo.

Juego de subastas con una mecánica curiosa, pero no lo suficientemente pulido.
