Auction and bidding board games

In an auction game the players set the price of things, not the rulebook: you raise, you pass, you let someone else overpay. It is the most direct way to create interaction without direct conflict, and it suits people who read the table well and enjoy the thrill of a bid right at the edge.
Playing time is the first filter, because auctions fit fillers and long games alike: For Sale and Alta Società wrap up in half an hour and seat up to six, Container is a five-player economy in about ninety minutes, while Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization needs a full evening. The average recommended age is 11 and the typical player count is three to five: below three, bidding loses its bite.
On uplay.it you will find over 670 auction and bidding games available to buy, in Italian and English, including Giochi Uniti editions and Rio Grande Games originals.
