Product Description
Product Description
One man's castle is another man's cardboard box… or maybe his RV, tree house, igloo or skyscraper. In this fast-paced game of bidding and bluffing to get the highest-ranking properties, it isn't how much you pay for the properties; it's how much you sell them for. All players try to purchase the most valuable properties for the least amount of money and then “flip” them (turn around and sell those properties) for the highest-valued currency cards. Whoever has earned the most money at the end of the game wins!

There are two rounds. In the first round, all players start with the same amount of money. Cards representing properties, numbered one through thirty, are shuffled and dealt in groups equal to the number of players. Players then bid to see who gets the highest card; as soon as you drop out of the bidding, you get half your bid back and take the lowest card. The winner gets the highest card and pays full price.
In the second round, players rely on the hand of property cards they built in the last round. This time, a shuffled deck is composed of checks, values from zero to 15 (two of each) is used. Cards are again dealt in groups equal to the number of players. Each time a set is dealt out, players simultaneously play a property card, and are awarded checks in order of highest check to highest value played, and so on.
Once all the checks have been played, each player adds the value of his or her checks to any remaining money from round one. Richest player wins.
That's it. Like I said, it couldn't be much simpler. The strategy, however, is far more complex than the rules. Players have to manage their resources and get inside each others' heads. There's luck from the card shuffling, but it isn't the kind of luck that randomly favors one player over another.
For Sale is just about perfect. Simple, cheap, small and deep. You can play it with all ages, and the theme isn't going to turn anyone off like dragons and cyborgs tend to do. The card art is fairly basic but pleasing to the eye. I really don't have any complaints. It's the kind of game where the rules are so simple and elegant that you can't believe you didn't come up with it yourself.

The game is broken up in to two auction rounds. In the first round the players are given coins for buying properties. The way the auction system works, a number or properties equal to the number of players are turned face-up (ie 4 players = 4 properties). Players can then place a bid higher than the last bid, or pass. When a player passes, they get to take back half of their bid (rounding down) and the lowest ranked property on the board. Once all of the players have passed, the highest bidding player pays their full bid and is left with the highest valued property. Sets of properties are bid on until they are all gone.
In the second round of bidding, the player are selling their properties for checks. As in the first round, a number of checks equal to the number of players is turned face-up. Instead of bidding with coins, the players a bid by placing the property they are selling face-down. Once all players have chosen a property to sell, the property cards are turned face-up. The highest ranked property gets the highest valued check, and so on down the line. The property sales continue to all the properties have been sold. The winner is the player with the most money in checks and coins left over from the auction round.
At first glance, this game seems like it is very prone to random chance, but there is actually a bit of strategy involved in knowing your opponents and what they are likely to do. You may be faced with a situation where all low-ranked properties are on the board -- do you just pass to take the lowest ranked one, or do you bid to get a slightly better one and potentially overpay? Likewise, when all high-ranked properties come up, will everyone pass so you can get something really good cheap, or will you end up in a bidding war when you could have had a slightly worse, but still good card for free? The same sort of dynamics can show up in the selling round. If all high-money checks come up, you may be able to sell your low ranked property for $12000. You could also get stuck selling a high-ranked card and getting a small check for it.
In conclusion, this is fun, quick (10 to 20 minute) game. On the surface, it looks like it is all luck, but a lot of your decisions will be based on what you think your opponents will do, and how you can maximize you value.

At the start of this game players are given coins which they can use to buy properties which range in value.
Players use coins to bid against each other in order to win the highest value properties.
The bidding occurs in a circular order where you must outbid the previous players bid or take the lowest value property currently on the table.
The bidding has a strategic element in which if you already placed a bid and decide not to up the bid on your next turn you must still give half of your bid (rounded up) to the bank while simultaneously taking the lowest value property.This is all done during round one.
In round two those property cards are sold in an attempt to earn more money than other players. The player with the most money wins.
The game takes about 10-15 minutes to play.
Visually the game is appealing. The cards depict different properties, with higher value cards showing more extravagant properties and vice versa. The box was smaller than anticipated and is about the size of a box of crackers, however this does not take away from the enjoyment of the game.
