Autumn and falling temperatures are on the horizon, and for September we’re switching things up a bit. Rather than highlighting a single game publisher, this time we’re going with a genre – Auction and Bidding games! We’ve curated a selection of some of our favorite games using this engaging mechanic, and you can get 10% off any of the following all month long at your local Mox Boarding House!

Amun-Re (20th Anniversary Edition)

2-5 Players | Age 12+ | 60-90 mins

Amun-Re puts each player in the role of an ancient Pharaoh, each competing to build the most magnificent pyramids. Using their resources and cunning to acquire provinces, each providing new resources, players must use their powers wisely while still giving Amun-Re his due. The 20th Anniversary edition comes with four new modules that can be added to the base game.

Classic Art

3-5 Players | Ages 10+ | 30-60 mins

The International Art Gala is approaching, and each player takes the reigns as Curator of a leading art gallery vying for prestige at the showcase. This game of prediction requires the Curators to anticipate which works of art will gather the largest crowds, all while being unsure of how many artworks they'll be able to feature at each of the five Exhibitions that make up the Gala. You’ve got one shot, so use your gallery’s money wisely!

For Sale (Travel Edition)

3-6 Players | Ages 10+ | 30-45 mins

Take this classic real estate house-flipping game with you with For Sale Travel Edition! The market is always fluctuating, can you take advantage of it to get houses (or what legally, technically counts as a house on paper) for as little money as possible and flip them for a fortune?!

Skyrise

2-4 Players | Ages 13+ | 30-90 mins

A city is being built in the sky, and players inhabit the visionaries entrusted with designing this wondrous creation. Bid for space in which to build, court mysterious patrons for resources, earn favor with various factions, all while completing both public and hidden objectives. And in the end, create a wonder unique to your section of the city. Will you be remembered as the greatest architect of the city Skyrise?

Dog Park

1-4 Players | Ages 10+ | 45-90 mins

Can you become the most well-reputed dog walker in your neighborhood? You have four rounds to do it, walking as many dogs as you can through the park, choosing your route careful to navigate around your fellow dog walkers while increasing your reputation. Will you become the Prime Pup Parambulator?

If you’ve never tried an Auction and/or Bidding game, now’s the perfect time to pick one up and see just how contentious and hilarious the mechanic can get. While you can pick up any of the above titles with a 10% discount at your local Mox Boarding House (and sign up for our newsletter while you’re at it), we are not responsible for any grudges that may arise within your gaming group.
